Tom,
do you remember the size of this spider by any chance? I am thinking it may be a juvenile P. princeps. I also noticed you posted some other pictures of princeps from the same area.
I was looking at trying to figure out what species it was and I saw your shot mixed in. It may be possible this is a juvenile male (red lateral edges) and yours a female (tan)

size
I would guess the abdomen and cephalothorax would be about 5-6mm. It wasn't one of the real tiny ones, but not large either.
You're doing a great job with these, Thanks Jeff.

You are welcome.
I am trying to ID the phid pics as best I can with the revision.
It was noted that younger juveniles have a typical spot pattern with spots 2 fused into a trapezoid.(1) This is clear in the photos I linked, and yours (trapezoid) is a little 'over' developed. I will probably move these to princeps.
