Offhand, I would be tempted to consider one of the Pardosa species. |

Pardosa are difficult, if not impossible, to definitely identify from a photo; even a really good photo.
And in this case there is an additional complication - P. bifasciata isn't a UK species.
So if this was a UK photo, I suggest that Pardosa sp. is probably the safest title. |

Definitely UK - on my rockery! I first thought it one of the jumping spiders by the way it moved. Shall leave it as sp. Thanks Geoff.
