Micrommata virescens in Perth Australia?

Hey, wondering if anyone can confirm if this is of the Micrommata genus? I've noticed there aren't any recognised Australian Varieties (that I can find) and we seem to have a fairly healthy population around my house.
Unfortunately I'm waiting on a lens for my Nikon so excuse the quality. Thanks.
Dont think its virescens as i dont see any dorsal band on the abdomen, but im pretty sure ive seen this species before on occasion
 
Thanks RezonantVoid, I thought the same thing. This one appears to be male going off the enlarged pedipalps (not really visible in this photo) with a ~6mm body length but have occasionally had larger ones wander into the house.
 
Ya but how fast is it? Gorgeous to look at. Do they normally chill when in bright light?
 
Fairly quick, pretty well behaves just like a huntsman only smaller. Takes juvenile crickets no worries too.
 
I'm getting lynx spider (Oxyopidae) vibes, though I am not sure that's what it actually is.
