Hypselistes-like?
I don't think I've seen one with all black legs. Neat find.

What's the approximate size?

Maybe 5 to 7 mm?
I'm afraid I don't recall exactly, and the spider didn't stick around.

pretty large for a Linyphiidae
I'm leaning toward something in the genus Hypsosinga.

Do you remember what kind of web it had? Sheet web? Orb web?

Not an orb web.
I only saw a few disorganized strands of silk, nothing with any definite structure. It's possible that the old web was destroyed and the spider had only begun constructing a new one.
