Misumenoides formosipes
We would guess Misumenoides formosipes - four front eyes all about the same size and white transverse ridge on the front. Check in the guide and see what you think.

Agreed
I recently saw a M. formosipes with a prominent reddish marking on the abdomen and didn't realize that the green variety was of the same species. In checking the guide, I see that this one matches some photographed by Troy.
