Crab Spider (Thomisidae)?

Crab Spider (Thomisidae)?
Marlton, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
September 21, 2007
Size: Around 2mm ? maybe less
Is it possible to tell if this is a jumping spider? It was roaming around free, appearing to be hunting like a jumper. Or is spiderling the best it can be IDed?

As a non-expert I think the eyes may be wrong for a jumper. There appears to be 2 pair in the center, (one much lower than the other) and a pair slightly to the side. Jumpers seem to have the eyes wrapped around the head, big-medium-small.

Little lynx?
