Spider ID?

Half-cocked

70mm across the legs at longest point, body about 6mm long. Flattened posture. Anyone know what it is?

A harvest spider (Opiliones; not a true spider) of some sort; very rusty on them; have to google pics. Nice photo.
(post google: Dicranopalpus, found around houses).
With yet more googling: this is a recent arrival in Ireland (first record 1995)

Thanks Desmo, looks like it alright. Should I report it anywhere as an invasive species?

Amaurobius (I think similis);
common in gardens and can bite
