Spider, theridiid?

Spider, theridiid?
Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve, San Mateo County, California, USA
May 7, 2016
Size: est 7mm
This spider was hanging on one of the thistles in a patch mixed in with dense tall grass in open grassland. It was cloudy and the spider was low enough and below the flower head, so I had to crouch down into the thistle and grass. This is the best I got (relatively quickly, since I was doing an ant survey).

It looks similar to Ken S.' here, but mine was larger:
