It looks like Euryopis elegans Roger.

Thanks Bron. Euryopsis elegans was the obvious option, but there is so much variation in the abdominal colouration of posted photos on-line that we suspect "elegans" is a dumping ground for similar spiders. There's been no taxonomic work on this group for a century, so we figured it was more accurate just to say sp.
