Misumenoides formocipes?
This looks more like the Misumenoides formocipes pics to me.

We would agree with Misumenoides
this image does seem to have the horizontal transverse ridge across the face above the lower eyes.

Misumena?
My first guess is an all-white specimen of Misumena vatia, but I always get Misumena, Misumenoides, and Misumenops confused:-) The eye arrangement is a good clue as I recall.
