yes - it is a Slant-faced (sort of)
I'll get back to it soon and try to nail the species down with more certainty, but it appears to be Psoloessa or Aulocara. At first glance, my money is on P. texana, A. elliotti comes in a close second, but I'll be more sure after I compare with already identified photos. Wouldn't happen to have a shot that shows the color of the hind tibiae would you?

No Other Shots
Sorry, that was the only shot, but I did do a little more research using your tips and found that the 2nd instar of P. delicatula looks similar. Take a look here.

I'm not exactly convinced by it for my photo but was surprised to find an example in Bugguide under P. texana which does look like a 2nd or 3rd instar P. delicatula here.
