spider in slender waiting position
Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico, USA

Size: cm x 2mm elongated
I know this picture doesn't have much detail, but I'm hoping the waiting position gives some idea of the genus if not species. Does anyone have some ideas? Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Not far from this other, in the same area! (and in time of year, too)
I've appreciated your IDs over the years!
