Oxyopes acleistus ?
Great shots. I'm thinking Oxyopes acleistus, but I have to confirm the range of the species before I can be sure.

Edit - well according to range maps... that species is not likely.

According to range maps - O. aglossus
This must be either O. salticus, O. aglossus or O. scalaris. Personally I don't think it looks like either O. salticus, or O. scalaris., so I guess that leaves O. aglossus by default. I still think it looks most like O. acleistus.

The main difference between the two(besides range) is that O. aglossus has ventral lines on femurs I & II and O. acleistus has them on I, II, & III.

Any shots of the ventral side of femur III?

Unfortunately...
I didn't get any more angles on this spider. It ran away quickly and I never saw where it went.
