Looks like a Linyphiid, possibly one of the xxx-phantes genera, like Leptyphantes, Tenuiphantes, etc. Difficult family!

I`m thinking this one looks quite similar to Neriene clathrata ...

Those abdomen spots do resemble Lepthyphantes tenuis, although L. cristatus is identical from a photo. If it is either of these there should be one spine on the metatarsus. There looks to be something there but I can't see clearly enough to say either way.
But, as we all know, these little Lepthyphantes/Neriene etc are virtually impossible to definitely identify from a photo. |

Zooming in the original image there is definitely a spine on each metatarsus. |

If it is just one spine on each metatarsus that does help to narrow things down a bit.
L. zimmermanni, and several look alikes, are also possible although they tend to have more bar like abdomen markings. But nothing is guaranteed without a microscope when it comes to attempting an ID on these species. | | |
