I’m wondering if this is a daddy-long-legs type of spider. It is an almost pale gold colour.

Thanks @MichaelMulvaney; are there other 'Golden Daddy LLs'. or is there just no 'Gold(en)' in its common name? (I so want to call it that as an 'aide de memoir'!)

Sorry for being so cryptic there are no other golden daddy long legs, just that this specimen has a golden glow
