Spider ID

Hi, found a couple of pics that look pretty close on the Spiders of Australia website. There are heaps of species that look very similar though.
To me it seems it is either Missulenea occatoria (females are black, males have a red head) which is a common mouse spider or possibly a trapdoor spider of the Aname genus. Hard to tell with only a photo. Maybe check out Australian spider websites to help ID her. Hope this is helpful
 
Hmmm, it may be a female mouse spider, sometimes their fangs are bigger/wider than their heads! If not a mouse spider its certainly some sort of trapdoor?
This is a mouse spider I found in my backyard, you can kind of tell just how big the fangs are in proportion to the head:
