This spider
is not the same individual as the other spider depicted in the other two pictures linked to it. It appears to be a male whereas the other a female.

My apologies
I see the difference in the palps now. The second spider was on a leaf very close to the first spider, probably the same shrub. I think I was probably distracted temporarily (This was on a walking trail.) The two sets of photos were taken less than 20 minutes apart according to my camera. Perhaps they were a pair? They certainly look like the same species. Although the stripes on the legs are different?
