How about
Thornbush Dasher (Micrathyria hagenii)? At least I think I see a "y" on the thorax.

ID - Micrathyria hagenii
I believe that your ID is very likely correct.
It would be nice however to find a lateral view of a female Micrathyria aequalis for comparison since this is the species most similar to M. hagenii in the females.
I can't find one on the web.

M. hagenii
I have a couple of references with photos of females of both species. M. aequalis doesn't have the same lateral thoracic pattern as M.hagenii. The subject photo matches M. hagenii.
