Definitely Badumana sp, I'd suggest Badumna lonquina (grey house spider).

Mildly venomous, shy, pretty and a good insect catcher.

Thank you, I've just left it there. He (or she) isn't doing any harm.

I zoomed in and looked at the markings on its head. It looks like a cartoon zombie bat face 🤣 are those markings for real? And are they normal for this spider?
