Please see my question in comments with view of this spider stretched out on ruler. We would really like to know its sex if possible. Wish this were a better image. Thanks.

Just guessing,
but from your choice of image here it seems like you don't know how to sex a spider. You need an adult specimen (not sure if that's what you have here) and you need a clear view of the end of the palps. See explanation here.

You're right that it was...
a poor choice of image and statement of question. I do know how to sex them. Hadn't been able to get a good shot of pedipalps, including from the front. Got one today and submitted it in reply to Jeff.

Looks
like an immature male to me at the antepenultimate or penultimate stage.
