mating spiders
not a lynx, but what do you think of something like Linyphia ? Take a look at this spider



or maybe Pityohyphantes (I think this one matches better)

Pityohyphantes
Yes, Lynette, that may be a correct ID. I wish that I had a better image of body detail, but this is a one shot deal! Thanks for your input. Is the one on the left the male?

Yes, the one on the left is the male
you can see his enlarged palps.

Lynx?
They look a little lynx-y to me. By the way, I think the male's on the left, judging from the palps.
