Very pale Steatoda species?

When I bought in my moth trap today, I noticed a very pale 'widow-shaped' spider under the dome of my trap.

It was not any of the ones that I would associate with the Steatoda species and one that I had not seen before.

I'm sure that Venger will tell me exactly which spider this is!!!

It was like a very pale cross between a 'Daddy-long-legs and a Steatoda grossa'?!!

Size and photo would be good

Sorry Venger, I did not have my camera to hand at that time.

It's legs were about a 2" spread and it's body was quite small but hung down in the typical Steatoda species stance.

I truly do notice this species now but have never noticed this one before?

It was quite lovely in appearance!
