Small silver/white jumper with black spots on back - Phidippus princeps

Small silver/white jumper with black spots on back - Phidippus princeps
Creek County, Oklahoma, USA
September 1, 2019
Size: ~3mm
This tiny jumper was hanging out in ragweed in a slightly wooded area between two pastures. Couldn't get a clear shot from top, so adding several images for different parts. Quick and shy. Base "skin" color dark reddish brown, but short white/silver hairs give it a silvery look. Has also long white hairs all over. On the back two lines of black spots, first pair on top separate from others, the rest of the spots more or less continuous, but cut off by two sets of white narrow spots. Legs covered in white hairs. On top of the head slightly darker beige area.

The area between the black spots is shiny silvery towards the back end.
