thanks bayucca. Superb links... I wish my spottings were crystal clear like those ones!!

Salticidae, Hypaeus benignus, female, maybe a younger one, see the colors of the legs. I am not 100% sure, but more me as a jumping dummy it looks like being a fine match. Something for Doc to verify! http://www.flickr.com/photos/lastarantulas/5204582807/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/19083292@N00/7334654396/
