I found it on the sidewalk in the backyard. Probably attracted to light.

Moved
Moved from Spiders. I think this ID is very likely. The spinnerets look longer than normal because the abdomen is pointing up into the air.

Metaltella simoni?
I think this may be M. simoni too, but the spinnerets are bugging me a bit. They look rather long. Let's see what others think.

Thanks
Yes, spinnerets are long. I added two pictures. Unfortunately I don't have a good pictures for the eyes.
About the size, all what I can say, it was a little small like this female
