Thank you (Wedgie_Eagle) for identifying and Tony and Jenny Dominelli (Cinclosoma), Cael Gallery (Miturgidae) & Gelkiu for helping with the id of this species for us

General Species Information:
Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere
Females are ~7-8mm. The one male we measured was ~6.5
These are very variable. It seems the skull pattern on the abdomen is a rarity, rather than the norm.
We thought these were Hypoblemum griseum, but it seems a lot of these jumping spiders look very similar and the ones in South Australia are poorly researched.
