Is this Phiddipus audux?

About this photo:

This looks virtually identical to Phiddipus audux, except the spot on the back is orange rather than white. The field guide mentions this possibility and says that the color may vary "depending on the age of the spider and local variation."

Identification: See p. 135 in Spiders and Scorpions of Texas.
