Unknown Pisaurid somewhat like Zoridae and Philodromidae

This reasonably large spider keys out to Pisauridae, fishing spiders, but it is not a typical one. The face has a somewhat Zoridae, wandering ghost spiders, look to it, and there are some features reminiscent of Philodromidae, running crab spiders. The trichobothria, sensitive hairs on the legs, do not appear to match known Pisauridae.
