Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

Spent about an hour trying to figure out what this spider was. We’d never seen anything quite like it (the closest we came were the parson spider and snakeback). Found on a wall above a window. Approximately 3cm long and with a very large abdomen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think this is Gnaphosidae certainly. Specifically, perhaps Sergiolus spp.. But man that looks like a color-swapped Parson spider for sure, very interesting.
