Mimetus sp.
This is a very tiny Pirate spider. I originally confused it with a baby orb weaver, though upon closer look, it only has 6 eyes! Whoops!
Not sure of the standard habitat, this specimen was found in an open field deep within the undergrowth after the snow melted.

Thanks. This was a tough one, it didn't want to stand still for long and it was very tiny.
Great close up!
I believe this to be Mimetus epeiroides. If anyone can confirm, or give me an idea as to who to confirm, that would be great!
