Female Carrhotus tristis

I captured this jumping spider a few days ago on a shrubby flower. It is a bit fatter than most jumping spiders. The face and legs are coppery red, the abdomen is dark brown with white spots. I suspect it is a female of Carrhotus tristis (Thorell, 1895), a species of jumping spider found in India, Indonesia, Myanmar, and Taiwan. While males are generally described as dark, smaller, and muscular, I have unfortunately not had the chance to see directly what a male jumping spider looks like.
