Hey all I found this spider under a pot plant yesterday afternoon. You think it's a funnel web?  |

Grunto Posted some good shots of a red headed mouse spider on the green scorpion website http://www.thegreenscorpion.com.au/f....php?f=16&t=45 ... i am pretty sure he is also a member of this site so could possibly post some more ?? The males have the most awsome colour to them and you can see why they are RED HEADED lol

I'd go Mouse Spider. Funnel webs usually are a lot darker and have a larger abdomen.  |

looks like some kind of trapdoor, there are so many species but i'm trying to start getting more familiar with the various family and the more prominent genera so i will be able to ID them in the field

Looks like a trapdoor as others have mentioned (family Nemesiidae). Where was it found (state, suburb, etc)? If you can, try to take a close-up photo of the eye arrangement as this might help to bring the I.D down to genus.

White tailed don't build a web. They are rovers.
When you look at a description of a spider look at it's behavioral characteristics as well as its physical characteristics.
