Doesnt look like a Marpissa Karen :) Hentzia palmarum looks perfect !
Liam
Never 100% sure on my spider IDs! :) Looks a lot like the one Aaron identified as H. palmarum for me last year, though: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10348165

Thanks Liam. Are you 100% confident on Hentzia palmarum - it also looks a lot like some of the Marpissa species but it doesn't seem to be a complete match to either. I wasn't able to get any better photos because it was so fast!
