Looks like a very good shout. The trichobothria and tibial leg spines will certainly help confirm this. Habitat sounds perfect.

Welcome to the Linyphiidae 'rabbit hole' Teg - no going back now😆

Do the dorsal tibial leg spines and metatarsal trichobothrial positions tally with Oedothorax apicatus??

What habitat was it from Teg?

Teg, Ty's just saying that he's only found Sabacon North of the Valleys, not that it doesn't occur south of that 😉 However, I don't think your image is of a Sabacon, the palps of this species are very strongly swollen and very obvious in the field, even in small juveniles.

Phew - the abdomen pattern is good for flavipes too. Although the epigyne isn't the most typical for flavipes as these usually have dimples on the scape (a head scratcher specimen for sure), but flavipes it is.
