What made you decide on the species?
I was thinking either Neriene radiate or Frontinella communis I would like to know the parameters since you seem so sure

Neiriene radiata ...
has a two toned carapace with a lighter colored border ... the thing that stood out that made me think this wasn't F. communis was the tangerine coloration of the carapace, unless that was a trick of the light ... ? I saw that you had found F. huachuca before so it looked likely.

I found huachuca in the
Huachuca Mountains, this was in the low desert in Picture Rocks, in a totally different habitat. I think I will move it back from the species to a more conservative location.
