ID : Arctosa perita?

Evening,

This spider was found at Dawlish Warren which is a sandy coastal site. I think it could be Arctosa perita and the habitat description for this in 'Roberts' backs this up.

Is anyone able to comment on this identification?

Regards,
Andrew.

Looks good for A. perita. Beautiful spiders. I've often seen them hide under small 25mm square webs on the ground that have a light covering of sand.
