Office spider - Sergiolus capulatus

Office spider - Sergiolus capulatus
Sunderland, Franklin County, Massachusetts, USA
May 18, 2012
Size: body is about 8mm
I found this spider crawling around in my office, and I'm curious about who my new office-mate is. I don't have the means to get a clear shot of its face here (in my limited experience trying to identify spiders, the face is pretty important), so I'm hoping the pattern on the abdomen is distinctive enough for an approximate I.D.

Wow--if they're not the same
Wow--if they're not the same spider, then one is definitely mimicking the other. Thanks!
