Excellent video and stills. I think flash makes the images much sharper.

Lovely. :)

It certainly looks like a Urostyla (and is clearly a Urostyloid)...but there are other flexible hypotrichs with wide bodies. To be sure of genus, I think you'd need to see the pellicle more closely, count kineties and examine features like the transverse and frontal cirri.
