User's notes
Not sure about this, a Maratus spp. - but maybe that unamed one that seems to be present. I assume the female enclosed is related to the males but I do not know for sure, only it was present in the same area

Yes I thought about that ID as possible, these ones seem much darker than the ones in my yard

They can vary quite a bit, I would recommend taking a look at this publication: https://peckhamia.com/peckhamia/PECKHAMIA_180.1.pdf. Pages 6-10, 14, and 17-20 have images of live specimens of adult males (corresponding to your first 3 images), while p.35 has the penultimate female (corresponding to your final image).
