Help identify!
Hey guys! Saw this little guy roaming my kitchen. Snapped a pic of him and let let him roam on. I would really like to know exactly what s/he is though. I've been sitting here searching google for "common house spiders" and the like, but no luck in narrowing it down.
Thanks for any help!!

Re: Help identify!
I've been looking, but with no success. May I ask where you live, that could help.
And yes, some closer pictures would help as well.

Re: Help identify!
Looks like a camel spider, but it probably isn't.

Re: Help identify!
I live in Western New York, Kenmore/Buffalo to be precise.
I don't have any other pics unfortunately. I took that one, and then let him run off to enjoy life 
hahah Camel Spider. If only I were so lucky.  |

Re: Help identify!
Well, after looking some more, it looks like it could be a True Spider. That is the closest I could get to it.

Re: Help identify!
You guys are awesome!
And especially thanks to Reptscue!
This is exactly what the little guy looked like:

"Chiracanthium mildei"
Even the little stripe on his backside there.
A drawing:

Now I wish I had caught him and took some more pictures with my macro lense. I am not exactly a spider person, but when I saw him, he didn't look like anything I had ever seen before and so that is why I took the pic in the first place. And I didn't want to catch it because I don't know how to care for them, and I didn't want to hurt his little legs or something.  |
