Anystidae: Erythracarinae
Great find! This is an erythracarine. Very cool mites normally found in dry, hot, open areas.

Anystoid mite?
Superfamily Anystoidea, but you'll need a positive verification from an expert.

Possible, but...
It looks a bit more like a member of the Suborder Anystina: http://bugguide.net/node/view/91177/bgpage

On a related note, this is a very good, & rather pretty, photo! :D

It's an arachnid but not a spider :-)
It's a mite.
