This fellow would not cooperate and stick around for a top shot that would better reveal the markings.

Probably not
I'll check the archives, but judging from my original comment there is probably just this one shot as she was being uncooperative.

Front view?
Do you have a view that shows the eyes better (looking into the 'face' of the spider)?
I don't think it's Striped Lynx (Oxyopes salticus) based on the wavy brown marks on the carapace.
likely the Male here
OK, so focusing on very minute details I think this might be O. acleistus because on O. acleistus there are lines present in the middle of the eye arrangement. They are not supposed to be there on O. aglossus. That being said... I'm not very sure about this idea since I expect the lines to be darker than they are in your image. More images would help.
Edit - I dropped that eye feature from consideration because it appears to happen on both acleistus & aglossus at times. Just by range it should be aglossus, if we add John B.s ideas of overall coloring and spacing between lines on the front of the face it confirms aglossus. We are moving the male here based on the female ID.
