Default Spider

This gross little spider was running toward me on a railing so I subjected it to my camera. It was about half the size of my baby finger nail.
It might be a yard spider but I don't know. Just found it interesting

Unfortunately I'd need to see the top markings Chocky, there are several which might fit the bill.

No, I'm afraid that it still doesn't show the patterning on the main body and this is the main part needed for identification.
