Seems generally a match for fishing spiders. I would guess this is immature, perhaps not with adult markings.

Missing Legs
One time while at Schnabel Park In San Antonio Tx I was Loxosceles hunting, I found over a dozen brown recluse spiders in an area. Half of them were missing a leg, many the same leg. Some didn't even appear to have a socket for it. That was wierd.

Philodromidae.
Relatively confident this is a "running crab spider" in the family Philodromidae. Individual specimens in that family seem to have a proclivity for losing legs, too. Nearly all Dolomedes I have seen have had all their appendages.

Thanks. For a scientist, I'm sometimes astonishingly oblivous--I didn't notice the missing leg.
