I don't know much about spiders either but I think there is enough variation including sex differences to make it a possibility.

Plus Portugal too ;) http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/21631276 I have google it but the results always show that between this white signs should be another mark, I have found some that look like they don't have that mark but the area between is either smaller or lighter, I mean maybe this are totally useless observations but I really don't know much about spiders but I do know that their coloration may really vary from many extremes, so please correct me http://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=1856
