Another Jumping Spider - Phidippus audax - male

Another Jumping Spider - Phidippus audax - Male
Springfield, Calhoun County, Michigan, USA
April 23, 2008
This is P. audax I believe. Male or Female? Found on the side of the house where we found the other jumping spider that I just posted. It is browner than the other jumper. Does this mean it's juvenile or do they just come in different shades?

Thanks again, Jay
Will he be darker in color after his last molt? If so, this will help me tell younger spiders vs mature.
