Kevin, you've had a busy day today, identifying a bunch of spiders. You deserve a good rest.

This appears to be another Ha

These were the only shots I got. It moved a lot, and was quick. It looks like a mature male, and I have it saved in alcohol now. Hopefully this is one Kevin can put a species name to when he gets it.

 
Sounds good
I am always happy when Kevin solves our mysteries! :)

Definitely a hahniid...
...based on those spinnerets (they seem to be in a single transverse row but hard to be sure). This one does look like a Neoantistea but since there are other choices (mostly Hahnia and Antistea), I don't know if I'd be 100% positive of that ID. I wonder if you got any ventral photos? We could check the tracheal spiracle placement which would help us choose between those three most likely genera.
