It took me some digging but I figured it out, it’s a type of harvestman, Pantopsalis albipalpis.
Thank you! We specialize in order Aranæ of class Arachnida, it’s great to get some help with order Opiliones!
The way to tell if it’s a harvestman is by the body shape which is usually small and round and doesn’t have a separate abdomen like a spider does. I’m not an expert though.
