Phidippus? - Phidippus carolinensis

Phidippus? - Phidippus carolinensis
San Antonio, Bamberger Park, Bexar County, Texas, USA
July 14, 2007
This spider saw me coming, so I didn't have an opportunity to get a good photograph. I'm fairly certain that it's a jumping spider, Phidippus, but can anybody proffer a species from this poor shot? I can see vague pattern similarities to P. arizonensis (which is common in this area), but the colour is very different.

It's too bad...
you didn't get a good shot of his "face". These have very distinct features. It isn't necessary for an ID though. This is an adult male Phidippus carolinensis.
