Mouse spiders have long spinnerets....they're mygalomorphs (primitive spiders). That's what was worrying me with that piccie of Marc's. Some male mouse spiders have colour but they're mainly black/brown/reddish brown in colour as you mentioned.
It probably is a huntsman, but you still don't want to be bitten by one!!!.
The fact it was so calm even after Marc putting his T shirt on would suggest it's a huntsman. Most mouse spiders would either skidaddle or curl up into a ball. Some will bite, though.
As JJJ said, the piccie really made it hard to identify. That's why I thought it may have been a mouse spider of some sort.
I've seen a mouse spider munching on a gecko......gecko had no chance despite being a rather large one. Needless to say I killed the spider as I didn't want it coming in the house!!!.
