YET ANOTHER spider ID!

Sorry about this, grapple fans.
I seem to be running around taking shots of "Missing sector orb weavers" or "Bridge spiders" or "Daddy Long Legs spiders" etc... at the mo.

THIS one looks a little different though.
Its a male. I've got that.
Its TINY.
The wee thing is about "money spider" size, if that.
Not much bigger than 3mm long I'd reckon.

Any ideas AT ALL as to what it could be.
(Photographed on our kitchen ceiling this evening)...

Any help appreciated please, again!

Many thanks.
Doug

Cant help you with the species Doug, but they are very good, detailed, clear images considering the size of the Spider.

Cheers Fourwings.
The magic of the Raynox DCR150 I guess, and two elbows acting as a bipod.
The wee thing was moving pretty sharpish n all. Not my best photo's I think, but I'm hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction.

Its ironic eh?
Going on the WEB to identify a SPIDER...
