What is this tiny bugger? Looks a lot like Philodromus, could it be one?

Hey there!!!

Where did you find it?
is it flat? Could you take a better picture of it focusing the eyes?
It could probably be Selenops Sp. but I am not sure.

Edit: It does look a lot like the specimen you are talking about. There is a thread about it here:

Doesn't look like Selenops to me. I think Selenops sp. are southern spiders, not found as far north as Montreal.

Might be either Thanatus sp. or Philodromus sp. (Philodromidae). You can tell them apart by the eyes.

Yes, a picture to the eyes could help a lot to distinguish the genus.
Guessed not Selenops Sp. but they quiet look alike.
