Around 1cm in length and a smooth abdomen.
The jumping spider I assume to be the male, has a decent pair of fangs, visible in both photos.
There is a white trinangular marking on the head.

Image 20 on the "Unknown" list is very similar, if not the same.

What a fabulous photo !!
These two males appear to be sizing each other up ready for battle, don't they.....wonders if there was a female nearby?
Excellent.
Cheers

Thanks Gaye,
I visited the tree a number of times yesterday to see if I could find them again, but no luck!
There was a difference in size so I imagine the smaller one (at the top of the photos) was a younger version.
There is a site showing a very similar Salticid which hasn't been identified. I tried to place the link but it didn't work. It was from Life Unseen.
Thank you for your nice welcome at Scribbly, by the way.
I've managed to get a link to LifeUnseen up today. it's working for me. I hope it works for others.
"Unknown 20"on the page is the similar Salticid.
