Ceraticelus looks good
The Golden Guide has a picture of a Ceraticelus sp. and it looked just like this one, with the same abdominal pattern and thorax.

Genus would be great
If this could be identified further, it would be the first dwarf identified to genus.

The
scutum on the dorsum helps narrow it down to several genera, but the one mentioned previously is likely it.

Yes
Probably a Ceraticelus spp.
