Please help me identify this small, long-legged brown spider with 2 white spots I found on our family room wall. I took him outside and got this shot as he was scurrying away.Thanks!

This appears to be a pirate spider (family Mimetidae) - they specialize in feeding on other spiders - http://bugeric.blogspot.com/2011/09/spider-sunday-pirate-spiders.html
