Lovely photo, but impossible to ID from that angle I'm afraid. Notoriously difficult to pinpoint to a species too. Posted 5 years ago

  Thanks so much, Claire.
  Don't know if it would help, but I've added the remaining views for this specimen.

    I admit I am struggling! With your permission to use the photos, I would like to enlist some help. I have requested to join a Salticidae group which would also help me as I love the little critters! Posted 5 years ago

        I may just ask on a British site, if I can just get a genus, it's a starting point! Thank you for the use of your lovely photos. Posted 5 years ago

        Got a genus 'Evarcha'! Quite possibly Evarcha jacunda, but can't be certain. I asked on a British site and got an answer straight away! Posted 5 years ago

  Claire, what do you think of this:

  The orange band around the head matches, it has a clear abdomen, and occurs in Portugal. Posted 5 years ago

      The only thing that is bothering me is the lack of red around the eyes, but then, there is often some difference in their looks. Posted 5 years ago

My money is on Carrhotus, but it looks like someone else is being asked to check on the British site. We could end up with a third possibility! ;)

Looking at this particular photo, I am convinced!
