Agree with KezyGLA on the ID.
If you like fossorial species, O. aureotibialis is a must have, out in the open frequently.
You've got a very pretty one, female?

@boina, At least my female is, the male is more like an over fed Cyriopagopoeus, only see legs at the burrow entrance.

@Red Eunice Seriously? I saw my girl like twice a year, tops. I sold her but now I have 2 juvies. Here's hoping they're out more than she is.

Wow, really nice pick up! Hopefully you'll see her out a lot. I hate pet hole spiders...makes me sad until that one random time you get to see them, lol.

@Thistles I'm totally serious! She has a burrow, but apparently prefers being on the surface. Had an AF C. huahini that led an arboreal lifestyle, one can't predict how they want to live. All my responses are based on my actual experience with said species.
With 18 fossorial species, I must admit, I love "pet holes". But, to each their own.
Hopefully yours will be viewed more than twice a year. IMO, OAs are the most striking of the fossorials I keep. I'm biased. Lol!

@Red Eunice They're really lovely, but I truly never got to see my girl. I have a ton of pet holes, but she was among the worst.
