White and brown jumper, eating a flying ant, would appreciate ID - Phidippus mystaceus

White and brown jumper, eating a flying ant, would appreciate ID - Phidippus mystaceus
Creek County, Oklahoma, USA
July 6, 2019
Size: ~7mm
This jumping spider was eating what I assume is a flying ant. She (?) was on passion vine under a leaf. I saw what I think Peppered jumpers mating earlier today, and this one is bigger than the female, and the pattern on abdomen is different. This one didn't want to eat out in the open, and kept evading my attempts to get pics and video, hiding behind leaves, until later on she just gave up and sat in one place for a good while.

The face pic is a screencap from video, others are normal pics.
