Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

Paris, 2023, november 29th, 9pm
For scale: it stands on a 5cm wide wooden bar nearby a windowsill planter
Body about 2cm (?) Rather plumpy abdomen.
Sighted 14 m above ground level, Seemed about to enter a warmed flat (19 celsius) from an opened window (7 celsius outside)
The flash and camera render a scale-like pattern on the abdomen that was not visible to the naked eye
I have also a picture taken without flash, somewhat blurrier, but with colours closer to those perceived with the naked eye
My ignorant guesses : Eratigena agrestis? Some kind of Agelena ? A very large Tegenaria domestica ?

It’s hard to say without seeing the whole spider but I think it could be a false wolf spider…Zoropsis spinimana…it doesnt look like a house spider and the false wolf spider is more likely to be hanging around human habitation than a large true wolf spider would. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/127112-Zoropsis-spinimana
