Hi! I need help in identifying this spider as much as possible. What family it belongs to would be enough. I have only one picture and here it is:


It has eye arrangement similar to genus Zora (Miturgidae) but everything else looks very different and the body length of this male is around 15 mm, so definitely not Zora.
Body shape reminds me of some Philodromidae.

Forgot to mention, it is found in Eastern Europe.

Looks more like a dolomedes species to me. at the very least it's definitely a pisaurid.

Oh yes, now I'm sure it is some Dolomedes sp. (Pisauridae), probably D. plantarius as I remember the shape of it's tibial apophysis.
Thanks a lot!

It was preserved in 70% alcohol for the last two months so I assume a color change a bit.

I was going to suggest this very ID. :D
