okay
this is a female. Still can't determine age with these shots though. In my own photos the last two instars are nearly identical.

Will's ID suggestion
is correct.

Hard to see the palps under all that fur, but I think this is an adult or subadult female. I'll check against my images to make sure when I get home, unless Jeff beats me to it with the correct answer.

BTW, nice photo!!!

Your improvement
You're improvement in ID'ing has been comming along with great alacrity. I believe the jumper is Phiddipus princeps, but wait for Jeff or Jay to give you a better ID.

PS. Your photos have improved by order of magnitudes, this is a great shot
