Looks good to me
After carefully looking at Graham's photo full size, I'm convinced. Everything is identical, including the "assassin-like" spikes on the abdomen. From what's visible, description checks out with Spiders of North America (1). As a bonus, BG now has images of the undercarriage and his nice spinnerets. Thanks for taking the time to investigate, Lynette
