Anyone knows the spider I found in the shower ?

It looks close to Latrodectus mactans, but a little different than ones I’ve seen. It could just be slightly different markings, or a somewhat different species. Could anyone confirm/deny me?

I would guess L. mactans if it was in North America. In Australia it is likely to be Latrodectus hasselti, an Australian redback.
