I would say that this is an
Adjeania sp. ... the huge palpi sticking out the front are quite distinctive of a small group of genera :) Then the lack of hairs on the eyes or palpi combined with the orange body & legs rule out the other genera.
Just a further guess -
Adejeania vexatrix is a species found in the southern USA and Central America and it looks quite like this ... but that is purely speculative - you really need to have it confirmed by Monty Wood ;)
