There are two families of spiders that can have an eye pattern very similar to your specimen's; Amaurobiidae and Trachelidae. I'm tempted to go with the latter; see https://www.flickr.com/photos/49580580@N02/32201483382 for an example. I suspect that only a tiny fraction of Colombia's spider fauna has been formally described.

Thank you, certainly has the eye pattern. Yes there remains much to document in Colombia.
