Portia labiata
About 10mm in body size. With a white mustache. Portia species in general hunt other spiders. This is a female with a web filled nest probably containing her eggs. Waiting to see the spider-lings coming out...!
Spotted in a corner of my roof top.

Sure they have!!! Thank you José....
These spiders have such lovely expressions
Thank you Ashutosh... Don't think they are very common. This is the second time I have seen one in 4 years.
Beautiful shots!How common are Portia in human settlements? I thought they prefer forest habitats more.
