Grass Spider - Pisaurina mira

Grass Spider - Pisaurina mira
Range, Conecuh County, Alabama, USA
December 27, 2008
Size: overall about 3 cm
Could it be Agelenopsis? The small creature has been hanging around the letter box for several days - perhaps to get out of the cold. ID help will be appreciated.
