Corinnid
Definitely a Corinnidae of some kind. I'd guess Castianeira or Scotinella, but it's hard to tell without a good pic of the genitalia. Phrurotimpus may also be a possibility, but we'd have to check the underside of the anterior tibiae.

The spineretts (sp? it's been a looong weekend) dont seem to be promenent enough to be Sergiolus. How about Micaria? Or Falconina? Or Castianeira? It's pretty bad when you can't make out the eyes well enough to even get it down to one family.
