Possibly A. alticephala but this one doesn't have a prominent large knob in the centre of its back as most other specimens do, and its eyes also look smaller and closer together. On Hemp Bush regrowing after March 2019 bushfire.

Small Spider (?Xysticus sp)
Identified as Thomisidae on Bowerbird by Liz O'Donnell: "This is Australomisdia cruentata, the blood spattered Diaea. (The genus name is not recognised by Bowerbird so I have just entered the family name.) Apparently "This spider is wrongly identified on page 105 of Mascord's 1980 book Spiders of Australia, as Xysticus bilimbatus" - see http://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=2083"
