Philodromus sp.?
The PME look a little closer to the PLE than to each other, so I'm thinking Philodromus sp.

Thanks, John!
Yeah - this one was closer than I'd like to "equally distant" under the scope, so I wasn't totally sure...

I know what you mean!
It was hard for me to tell, too. I looked at the eyes for quite a while, but couldn't decide. So, I enlarged the picture and used a ruler to measure the distances on my computer screen. PME to PME was around 10.5mm, while PME to PLE was about 8.5mm.

Nice looking spider. :)
