Malaysian Huntsman -help with species name?

[aaronbeck]

hi all,
i was wondering if anyone knows what the species name is for this malaysian huntsman: (see pics) photographed in taman kenong rimba, malaysia.

i have a bunch of other spiders i'd love to get identified as well, but i only have photos of them, and they are mostly salticids, so i guess it'll be tough...

another photo of the huntsman (looks to be the same species) can be found here:

any help would be greatly appreciated! the close up is one of my favourite photos, and i'd love to be able to name it correctly

cheers,
aaron
