Is this a tetragnatha? - Tetragnatha viridis
Gates County, North Carolina, USA

Size: ~15mm
The body shape and legs seem to be tetragnatha. Cannot see eye configuration well enough to tell. Hoped maybe the stripes and pink blotch might help id.

Yes.
There is a green species of Tetragnatha, but don't recall the name off hand. Check Howell, et al (Spiders of the Eastern United States: a photographic guide).
