Opisthoncus sp
7mm pale yellow jumper with black eyes and markings on the head
hiding in two leaves cemented together with silk, not sure of the tree species but it is in a sub urban and semi rural coastal area in a relatively undisturbed section of garden.
Thanks to Prof. Ron Atkinson and Chun Xing Wong for assistance with the ID. It may be a juvenile and O. polyphemus has been suggested

Chun, I will take the identification as far as Opisthoncus sp. Thanks for helping
I am guessing that she is a young Opisthoncus polyphemus.
Thanks Adarsha, Karen and Shanna, it could be two-spotted jumping spider but has enough differences so I am looking further. Like Shanna I have exhausted my resources but am asking others who may have better ones
Great spotting! I hope you find an ID. I've had a look at my resources and can't see anything that looks like it.
Very nice!
Jumping spider indeed...
