Is definitely not a M. pardus, these have only every been recorded in WA. More likely a sub adult M. pavonis, is that what you meant? For future reference, is ideal is you can take a shot of the spider from the front, to see the eyes and pedipalps which are critical in gaining an ID. A side shot can also be helpful..

Thanks for the location info on M. pardus I couldn’t find a reference. I do try to take a front and a side-on photo but sometimes they get away!
