But the phiddipus you're talking about has a black head...and also the abdomen of your spider has pinkish red colour....maybe you've found a rare jumper! :D
James McNair
Iridescence could be from sunlight Ashutosh, I cannot find any other that looks closer to the ID!
Ashutosh Dudhatra
Yeah but i dont think it is phidippus pulcherrimus ,Your jumper is quite iridescent.... havent seen that spotting from anyone from your country!Great Find!
James McNair
Thanks Ashutosh, that was the only shot I got, but I think I got correct ID from your suggestion

It is probably a jumping spider.....and seems beautiful! If you've taken other pictures of it,do add them :)
