Shape of web?
This is one of the sheetweb weavers in the family Linyphiidae. I could probably give the genus if I knew what kind of web it was in (dome shaped? bowl-shaped? flat?). I would recommend that anyone taking images of web-building spiders take an image of the WEB as well, please. It can be a great aid in making identifications.

Okay
Will do next time. It never occured to me to take a shot of the web. I'll frass these since I didn't do that. I'll probably get more of these because they are common where live. Thanks for the tip!

no need to frass
We'll move this to Linyphiinae and Jeff will probably recognize which one.
