I have been looking at these as I found a similar jumping spider (sighting 4699956). It seems to me that these should be considered by an expert to see whether some (at least) are Saitis mutans first described by Otto and Hill in 2012. https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/899218d7-94eb-48c3-bf63-adc2f81f0cee#gallery
