Consider adding this spotting to the Jumping Spiders mission http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/19167135
Should be a Jumping Spider, Salticidae. I only know "metallic" ones from the genus Sassacus in US (Dendryphantinae). http://www.flickr.com/photos/bob_barber/7847640158/ Salticidae should be OK, but the rest is just using my eyes... But you may check yourself.
