Nice! The common name for this group of spiders is, appropriately (!), the 'Red and Black Spiders'. Family: Nicodamidae
There are about 25 species ... and they're all quite similar.
Based on the general similarity, I think this could be Ambicodamus sp. Identification to species level really requires close up images of the pedipalps ... not easy to get, I know!
Well spotted though! They're not large spiders.
