Running crab spider? - Tibellus

Running crab spider? - Tibellus
Antelope Island, Davis County, Utah, USA
June 22, 2008
Size: 1/4 inch
I think this must be a running crab spider but it seems to have too many longitudinal stripes (and only seven legs--but it didn't hinder its speed). Can anyone give me an idea as to what exactly it is?

Thanks to all.
Thanks to all of you for your input. It certainly seems to look the most like tibellus.

Tibellus
I would also go with Tibellus on this. The new eye shot seems to confirm this.

This looks like
Philodromidae, Tibellus to us but we're not as certain as we'd like.
