Maybe ...
Phrurolithus/Scotinella?

Thanks, Laura !!
I'd looked at Phrurolithus but the eye arrangement appears to be (somewhat) different.
I'd glossed over Scotinella as it's mostly an eastern genus with only a Northern California record and an undescribed species from CA, but Scotinella looks like a good match !
And, if so, it appears to be an undescribed species.

That's what I was ...
thinking. It might be an undescribed so I didn't think I could get it past family. I read in the "Field Guide to Spiders of California and the Pacific Coast States" that there were a bunch of undescribed ones sitting in museum collections and that Prurolithus and Phruronellus might be moved into Scotinella so maybe that's were we should file it. The pattern on the abdomen is kind of similar to these Asian ones: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2287884X18304709

Thanks, Laura.
I agree.

And yes, there are some other specimens on BugGuide with a similar abdominal pattern; listed under Phrurotimpus and Agroeca.
