You
answered your own question. Iridescent chelicerae are unique to Phidippus (except for the two members of the octopunctatus group. Edwards 2004).
Probably P. johnsoni.

Thank you, Jeff.
I'm quite new to this, so I wasn't sure I was even in the right family! I'm using the new (?) Ubick manual but am still learning the important things to look for... I always have difficulty deciding if there are two or three tarsal claws, for instance, even though that should probably be easy.
