Thanatus coloradensis ?
I wonder if it could be a male Thanatus coloradensis. Compare with Rod Crawford's image here.

Yes,
Lynette, that may be a possibility. I have submitted another image showing the entire critter. I thought it might be helpful.

You're welcome
I have to admit there is still something 'bugging' me about this image. I'm going to do a little more research.
