It is a salticid from subfamily Spartaeinae..This subfamily also include Portia and Brettus ..This subfamily can be differentiated from other jumpers by presence of larger posterior median eye whc is too small in other jumpers
Brilliant photos! What an amazing spider, and what big eyes he/she has. Photos to be proud of, Philip. Beautiful clarity and light.
