Lynx Spider? - Oxyopes scalaris - Male

This looks like a Lynx Spider. I was not aware of any in this area, but further checking says that they do live here. Anyone have a possible ID on this one?

It is a lynx.
I moved it to what appears to be the proper ID, unless someone proves me wrong. Compare to the other images and see what you think.
The comment on the other page makes no sense to me.
