Alrighty arachnid guys. I seemed to have stumbled upon yet another unknown arachnid to me. Another male, seeing as he has some very impressive pedipalps! And not to mention it is late at night and our entomologist is unavailable. As I type this, it seems this bugger is making a web already in the deli cup. So, help me spread light on the ID of this guy. Again, sorry for these photos, I don't really like the fact of photoing a spider indoors so close to me without him being contained. I just don't particularly love spiders.

my two guesses would be some kind of sack spider or a gnaphosidae ground spider

I say Drassodes lapidosus or Drassodes neglectus. Not 100% sure of it though! nice spider! ;)

What do you guys think about Clubiona obesa?

Don't think its a Clubiona obesa, the shape of the carapace is different and the ''pattern'' on the abdomen is also another difference!
