What kind of spider is this?
Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, USA
June 30, 2016
First spider like this that I have run into. Some kind of lynx spider I'm guessing. Not sure if the prey is a bee or wasp but looked longer than a fly. Any chance of getting an id on the spider and can we tell gender? Care to hazard what type of bug the prey is? Sorry I only got this one shot in focus enough. I found it at the UTSW rookery in the morning.

Moved for the experts
Moved from ID Request. The abdomen pattern is shared by a number of jumpers. Take a look at Eris/Bagheera/Pelegrina. I'm leaning toward the first on the list.

Yes
I agree, took a look and the genus of eris does look good. Possibly a bronze jumper?
