I've had a few that *didn't*, though.No. I've had a few MM E murinus that *did* look like that.
No they don't, IMO. I'll post a few links and let others decide for themselves.A quick search of breeding pics and videos also back that up.

In addition to the points Tom/Philth made, the shape of the carapace is very telling. Auskie's spider has a more elongated, oval-ish carapace...not the wider one that an E. murinus has. Although I agree that some more pics and more info would be helpful for a positive ID, as 14pokies mentioned. Get some better views/different camera angle. I've also seen people new to the hobby claim a male has "hooked out", but they were actually talking about the emboli and not tibial spurs.

I was under the impression that all Haplos had tibial spurs...tibial spurs..h.albostriatum doesn't have them
