Mimetidae
it may well have been looking to "shed" (ecdyse)in my opinion
because it looks penultimate (hard to say)
and it was indoors (warmth)
clear pics!

Nice image!

Lynx Spider?
I think this is a lynx spider (Oxyopidae). Can't find a precise match in BG. Let's see what Jeff or Lynette thinks...

Edit - sorry, just saw your comment on another image. Probably is a mimetus - I'll just try to keep my mouth shut!
