ME Tetragnatha
Eyes are wrong for T. caudata, straminea & vermiformis. Teeth don't match for T. pallescens. OK down to brass tax, as they say, I think it's either T. extensa, T. laboriosa or T. versicolor. Of those three I think the best match might be T. extensa based on chelicerae & teeth.

Wow, these are really tough ones, huh?
If it would help, I can upload the full res images to flickr and send you the link?

Thanks again!

I don't think it will help
I think we've guessed as best as we can with this spider.
