Spider ID Confirmation - amaurobius fenestralis (1 Viewer)

I think this is a Lace Webbed Spider, under tree bark variety as that's where I found it. However, the pattern on its back doesn't quite match those in texts. Any experts out there to confirm the ID please?
Thanks
Dave

I reckon it is an Amaurobius. Apart from being a very light coloured specimen it seems fairly typical - maybe it has recently moulted. Dunno whether it's similis or fenestralis.
