Would I be correct in IDing this Crab Spider as Misumenoides formocipes of the family Thomisidae?

Thanks.

Pretty Shot
I like the contrast of colors and accurate focus here. Do you know what species of plant it is on?

thanks,

Sean

Buddleia
Thanks Sean. The bush the spider is on is a Buddleia (Butterfly bush) but I am not sure which species it is. There are many and I have several in my yard.
