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. :)

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.
