Mystery spider - Castianeira

Mystery spider - Castianeira
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
September 26, 2007
Size: 12 mm
It was scurrying across a paved path near a swamp. At first I thought it might be a purseweb spider, but it seems to be something else.

Ground Sac Spider?
Reminds me of genus Castianeira.

Thank you
It does look like a Castianeira longipalpa.
