Mark. This spider had not been touched and had not moved. I presumed the hind legs to be both tucked underneath the body and chose to photograph this natural pose.
Thank you Atul
That looks like a perfect fit.

Lokks like Tmarus sp. or similar. I have a couple of similar ones, take a gander:

Those rear legs look strangely short.
