I thought this was a Pardosa genus spider, but wasn't certain because of its unusual markings.

Possibly Pirata ?
Have a look at Genus Pirata - Pirate Wolf Spiders - they have the white lines on them.

Lycosidae
Hi Dave,
This is a wolf spider, I'd guess a Pardosa because of the markings on the abdomen. I agree, the white lines are really weird. Sometimes morphs arise in spiders, making exceptions. I am saying wolf spider because I can see the big eyes and tiny eyes in the back of the head. Also, the spider's idle gait is what gives Lycosidae away.
Nice find!

Andrew,

Thank you for the very helpful information. Confusing or not, spiders are so awesome!

Dolomedes
Looks more like Dolomedes to me, Dave. Those bright white stripes are typical. Unfortunately, the genus is as far as I can go!
