Moved
Moved from Spiders.

Coloration and size indicate it is a male. At 9mm, it is likely a subadult male.

Mygalomorph?
Not sure at all, but it reminds me of a Mygalomorph.

Not mygalomorph, but....
I can understand how it can give that impression. This is most likely a "crevice weaver" in the family Filistatidae. Do wait to hear from Jay Barnes or Jeff Hollenbeck, our resident spider authorities.

Thanks!
I've perused to the BG images and it is a close match. Much appreciated!

crevice weaver
You're totally right. I haven't seen one of these in so long I'd forgotten all about them.

Thanks, Lynnette, for the initial attempt at ID. Appreciate the your input.

So perhaps the spiderling
was also a crevice weaver?

That's what I was thinking, too.
