The first two photos clearly show fully developed palps and so the spider must be a mature male. I can't see the palps clearly in the last photo, but assume the photo's were taken closely together timewise?
No.9 Spider

No.9 Spider | Thanks for your reply . Yes, all three images were taken in the space of about 2 minutes.
