Hehe, that is my little secret Bruce! Suffice to say, none of the above. Back to the book for me!

As with a lot of i.d. attempts by photographs, it's more often a case of what the spider isn't or can't be, thereby using process of elimination.
I'll stick with my initial Tetragnatha sp. i.d.
Initial points I noted were the eye layout, carapace and the significantly smaller leg III. As the spider is immature, the abdomen (size and shape) is unreliable and, in this case I think, misleading.
