Great! That species isn't listed in my guide! Happy you got an ID J!
BugGuide just identified this as Xysticus punctatus, which has the pale band on the cephalothorax:

Thank you very much, Karen!
Mmmm, I would guess at Steatoda triangulosa though I can't find an example with the pale band on the cephalothorax like this one. http://bugguide.net/index.php?q=search&a... Nice macro work!
