I have just pictures from this angle. Is it possible to identify at least genus?

Dioctria rufipes or sudetica. If you can check the occipital bristels and the hair on the palpi, if these are black it is sudetica.

Thank you very much. There is no way to check it, but I have another picture of rufipes (white occipital bristles) from nearby place. This one could be the same species.

Best wishes
