2 raised eyes
I just noticed this has a protuberance on it's head, with a pair of eyes on top of it.

Dwarf spider.
I am pretty confident this is a male dwarf spider in the family Linyphiidae (subfamily Erigoninae?). Neat image.

Erigoninae
I googled this up and got an image that looked like this spider, but it was from Chile (Sphecozone bicolor) http://www.gwu.edu/~clade/spiders/erigoninae.htm
so I think the subfamily will be good enough.
