This is Holocnemus pluchei. A
This is Holocnemus pluchei. Although you can't see the wide, black ventral stripe in either of these photos, the elongate, patterned abdomen and banded leg joints are very characteristic of the species.

Thanks!
Thanks, R.J. I was wondering if that might be it. I have some other pholcid images that might interest you. I'll get them up soon if they aren't up already....
