My spinner male has a similar look -- darker side pattern with a bright gold "stripe" down the back, underneath the black patterning -- but I've seen it on a few spinners, and not too many spiders ...
Last March I noticed he was starting to get lighter with every shed, and that stripe had turned a banana yellow... I ended up calling the breeder to see if it was something that was common with the spiders he produces, like a phase or something, and he said that his breeder spidey male was really yellow, and that he'd probably grow up to look just like his sire. Hopefully its something that'll add some flare to any kind of bee that I produce in the future. When his pastel girl gets up to size, I'm going to see if he'll breed for me, but his wobble might be an issue :/ When he stresses it gets really bad, so we'll see! Hopefully, he won't be shy with the ladies
