Ant mimic.
Pretty sure this is an ant mimic in the genus Castaneira, family Clubionidae. Nice capture of what must have been a fast-moving animal!

Ant mimic
I believe that the Castianeira and two associated genera have been moved out of Clubionidae and into the family Corinnidae. But this certainly looks like one. I have failed to get a good shot of every one I have ever seen due to the speed of these things.
