Thanks for the possible ID's - looked up some other shots of Labulla thoracica and they do look very similar.
Gordon - didn't get any other angles - the spider was in an awkward spot between a fence post and fence panel.

From the palps I think Lephthypantes minutus is a better match. See - Lepthyphantes minutus photos and info |

Lepthyphantes sp. is a good candidate for this. L. thoracica has disproportionately larger palps.
No.9 Spider

Thanks again for the possible ID's - agree Lephthypantes minutus does look a better match esp for the palps
