| | | Alopecosa sp
Lound 28 Sept 2011
Found in sandy scrub. Our paths crossed whilst I was on a foray, so took the oportunity to get a couple of shots before it wandered off. 
Collins Field Guide suggests that the "lack swelling of long dark hairs on the tibia of leg 1" suggests it could be A. pulverulenta.
I would appreciate comments or suggestions regarding my tentative ID, please.

I think it looks more like A. barbipes...

Thanks for the suggestion, frits_b. 
Not being too familiar with the finer points of spider ID, I would appreciate knowing what characteristics you look for.

A. barbipes have the bright line running along the side of the prosoma, below the eyes; also the males have thickened tibia I with black hairs, like this one.

Thanks frits_b for your guidance.
I hadn't realised that the tibia was thickened, not having a comparison to go on.
You have been a big help.
