That appears to be some species of lyssomare.

Thanks. Google came up with zero search for lyssomare! Gees, seems like the whole world knows nothing about these type of jumpers.

Are you a jumper expert?

I really am not an "expert", I just know a lot about spiders. ;)
I'll see if I can determine the species for you.

A dark morph of Maevia inclemens, perhaps? 'Tis definitely a male, whatever he is.

Thanks for answering.
herpguy - no wonder i couldn't google lyssomare...shld be lyssomanes. The body shape from top maybe look the same, but the face doesn't. I have seen species of lyssomanes in my country. The are rather thin but have wide leg spread. This unknown fella has slightly smaller leg spread but a bigger body.
Its tip of head to tip of abdomen is 11mm.

jynxxxedangel - yea, the face looks more like a Maevia sps. But i still couldn't find an exact ID photo of this guy.

Anyway here's a clip i posted on this fella catching a big fly
