Central New Mexico, in piñon/juniper woodlands at 6500 feet. Any idea on species or why it is pink? I saw one earlier this year but it was grassy green. Do they change color in the fall or before they die?

it’s body is probably just under 1cm and legspan 3cm? just guessing obviously. its been hanging around my bathroom wall near the ceiling for 24 hours now. moving around to different parts of the room and hasn’t made a web or anything. Pictures arent the best but it has no patterns or anything and looks slightly more reddish irl. im sorry im too scared to get closer in case it falls on me :(

About 1” long
