Maybe Microlinyphia (Platform spiders) ??? - Microlinyphia - Male
Burlington County, New Jersey, USA
August 6, 2008
I think that this may be one of the Microlinyphia (Platform spiders) but I'm not sure if there is anything else similar. Male wandering around on the column supporting the porch roof near some bushes.
I didn't get a size but I think 7mm may be close.

it matches well, however.

This may be a question for an expert.
