Caerostris corticosa
Visited my brother and he showed me the spider after spotting a web the previous evening. Otherwise it would have been undetected. Third photo is its backside.

Great mimic.
I'll give the credit to my brother who spotted the web and searched for the spider the next day.
Takes camouflage to a new level! Well done to the photographer!
Spider? Where? What spider??? ;-)
Ongelooflik! ek kan dit nie glo nie!
What an amazing mimic this spider is!
Very similar to Australian Dolophones sp. Nice spotting
