Thank you...
...for your help with this. So far I'm batting zero for zero on my efforts to identify spiders. Hopefully I'll get better. I'll keep trying. Appreciate your help.

You
are welcome. It is often hard to do so, and I have trouble, too. Many spider images on the guide can't be IDed past family or genus. Some don't even make it to the family level!
