Sac spider
Appears to be one of the sac spiders from Clubionidae.

Unfortunately, they're hard to narrow down. They're also very similar looking to the Long-legged sac spiders and ghost spiders, so it might be one of those too.

A closeup of the eyes might help distinguish a bit more.

Thanks for the info
This specimen is long gone, but I will try to get better eye shots whenever possible. I looked through the Guide in the areas you recommended and can assure you I am still clueless. (Marvin)
