Slender Crab Spider

Having a little trouble IDing this guy. Obviously it probably lost a couple of legs in a fight or molting. Strange long abdomen. Initially I thought southern house spider but ab doesn't line up... male recluse same issue...

  Superficially, Pisaurina mira looks like a reasonable candidate to me. Don't really have the expertise to narrow it down, but the distribution maps for Pisaurina mira look interesting:

  They don't seem to be found in the west. Doesn't mean it's wrong, but it's a data point to keep in mind.
