I think the abdomen shape and markings of Tamopsis fickerti are different to this spider Tim.

I agree; this one would likely have the same species-level ID as some of your other sightings (eg. 4263657, 4262237 & 4260821 etc), whatever that may be.
It's great that you're considering potential ID that's more specific than Tamopsis sp though! Feel free to make more suggestions and keep up the good work Tim :)
