Spider ID please

Spotted this resting on the leaf litter at the wood edge. Anyone know what it is. Max about 1.5cm

Thanks

I assume you mean overall size including legs and not 15 mm body size which is a goodly sized spider.

If so, I would suggest Lycosidae family and quite possibly one of the Pardosa species, which would fit the location.

In some respects it looks similar to Pardosa pullata but they are virtually impossible to fully identify from a photo.

And one thing which is certain - I'm certainly no expert so this is just a suggestion!

Yes that's right. Would roughtly fit a 20p coin, maybe a bit less.

Only spotted it because I was at ground level photogrphing a flower.
