Cheiracanthium
I'd rather call this Cheiracanthium (Miturgidae) than Clubiona. Clubiona (usually) has and rather short legs and the first pair of legs about the same length as pair II. This one seem to have rather long legs and the pirst pair clearly longer than the second. But the pics are kind'a blurry and the eyes cannot be seen at all, and I'm not totally sure it belongs in the family Miturgidae.
