Nice photos!
Hi, Jillian-
Nice images.

Hmm, I think he probably is. The palps of these paler crab spiders look rather pale and indistinct from the back side, but these show a little color and depth, IMO.
You wouldn't be interested in collecting one of these for me, would you? I'll be in the States in a couple weeks (pfeiffer@tiros.net). If you prefer to send a specimen to someone else (local institution, if they are interested), that's fine, too.
Best wishes from Budapest,
Kevin
