| | | Heath spider ID
Hi all,
I found this reasonably large spider running around some low quality heath yesterday in Bedfordshire. Can anyone ID it for me?  
Many Thanks
Will

Yup she's a Lycosidae (a wolf spider), from the looks of it an Alopecosa spp, couldn't tell you which without the size or shots of the eypigyne and a more detailed location.
Could be A.barbipes (though thats not 100%)

thanks for the help, the photo was taken on the heath at The Lodge, Sandy if that's of any use.
