Habronattus amicus
This jumping spider was extremely small - maybe 6 mm from head to tail - and perfectly camouflaged with the wood it was sitting on.

He looks sad. Does he need a hug. LOL
You're welcome!
Thanks for the ID, Cindy! I think you're right, since it's just about identical to this one (http://bugguide.net/node/view/398864) and has the long third legs. And thanks Luke. :)
Very nine jumper!
I'd say it's Habronattus amicus based on the third pair of legs being so long and the coloration/pattern resembles confirmed species BUT I don't know if there's any confirmed sightings of them in NM.
So cute! Great photo.
