Jumping Spider - Phidippus otiosus - male

Jumping Spider - Phidippus otiosus - Male
Oak Ridge, Guilford County, North Carolina, USA
December 7, 2015
Size: 12mm
One foreleg missing. Lethargic on mild December afternoon. Has been on my porch a few days.

I can't place this specimen because his spots and the "stripe" around the front of the abdomen appear
to be so hairy.
Can it be something in Paraphidippus?

Moved for the experts
Moved from ID Request. The green chelicerae in the front indicate a member of Phidippus, perhaps a worn P. otiosus.
