Selenops sp
About 3cm leg span. Grey/brown cryptic colouration with banded legs and thin dark lines on the abdomen.
Found in 'El Cimatario', a national park in semi-arid area just outside the city. The rainy season is now in full swing and many animals are venturing out. This one was sitting on a Eucalyptus trunk, at about 1.80m above ground.

Thanks, Daniele! Only saw it because it looked odd on the depression in the tree trunk.
Now that is crypsis!
