Moved
Oops, sorry. I initially didn't even mean to move this. Thought about it and forgot to untag it when moving something else.

Moved from Hacklemesh Weavers. From Rod Crawford: ... almost certainly Cybaeidae.

Coras?
Seems a lot like a Coras sp.? Besides Cybaeota calcarata (a tiny 2.5mm cybaeid species), there's 3 species of Cybaeus in the northeastern USA, though... so maybe this is just a Cybaeus species I've never seen before.

Cybaeus
may be another possibility, though I don't know its range. It seems like Cybaeus spiders have larger eyes in relation to their 'head' than Coras? If that's a reasonable assumption than maybe you are correct with Hacklemesh Weaver after all.
