Unidentified Jumping Spider
Posting an image after a very very long time. Hope that sort of time gap isn't against forum rules!
ID please if you can... Got this at Karnala, Maharashtra. (Close to Mumbai)
By far the strangest spider I've ever seen. It was 1.5 to 2 cm long. The front pair of legs had some kind of bulging furry things that reminded me of Popeye's forearms. The small antennae like limbs next to the fangs (I think they're called the pedipalpi) were covered in white hairs, that made it look like it had a bushy white moustache.
Also the angriest looking spider I've ever seen!

Sorry about photographing it on a concrete surface. I shot it on a plant too, but that didn't turn out so well. If a profile image can help in ID, I can post that too.
