The posterior median eyes are circular here, which place this in Castianeira (instead of Micaria, which is very similar looking, but has oval posterior median eyes). There are other features that can tell the two genera apart, but that's the only one really visible in these shots. Once in Casatianeira, it must be C. cingulata because the femora are striped and there are two white bands on the abdomen. This one is a female (you can edit the image and add that, if you want).
