Hibana gracilis?
I just read in Spiders of the Eastern United States that this species can be distinguished from all others in the family by its brown chelicerae, which are pretty obvious in this shot.

Spider
This spider appears to be from the family Dysderid and are found in Europe. Only one species here in North America. If this, indeed, is a Dysderid Spider, it has no common name. It is a solitary hunter and weaver. If the spider invenomizes a person, it could be much like a bee sting. For identification, this spider has 6 small eyes, their front jaws are long with prominent fangs. It is found mostly outdoors under rocks, in leaf litter, woodpiles & etc. You should be able to do an internet search for more info by typing in "dysderid spider" in the search field.

I hope this helps.
