Linked to image of female of the same species. I will try to figure it out. Maybe D. alteranda?

Jeff, thanks for all the id's!!!
The shadow on the front of this one doesn't help. If it can be figured out to species, that would be great, but not expected.

Not sure about this one.

This
is a subadult male. The size of the palps and fact it was under bark makes me think Steatoda...

The reason
Steatoda came to mind was I collected a specimen of what used to be S. marmorata in CT.
I believe this is Enoplognatha marmorata. The image here is a Japanese species, but resembles US species.

Enoplognatha marmorata
I moved it to a guide page for the species. Thanks for the ID.

Web?
Was this spider associated with a web, or was it running free?

no web
I found this spider under a piece of bark, and I photographed it where I found it.
