Moved
Moved from Dwarf Spiders. Well, if this is what one looks like I don't see the problem in placing it there for now. The image clearly shows the ID is not 100% sure, but then how many IDs in the spider section are?

From Rod Crawford:
"..can't be sure but could be a Walckenaeria sp."

Walckenaeria sp.
Lynette, it would be a new genus for the guide. Do you think we should move it?

Any side views?
That might help.

Just dorsal shots
I didn't think to take a lateral shot.
