I found this one which looks visually similar - https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/775411-Acroaspis-olorina
Eye arrangement is the same, very hairy, big fuzzy palps, silhouette the same, the tower on the abdomen has dark bands around it, stripey stockings on legs with black and orange thighs, mostly grey but black in the areas which are covered when it tucks itself into the camouflage pose, there are sightings on inat of it in a web.
@YumiCallaway , @MichaelMulvaney , @EmmaCollins - thoughts??
