Possibly Hentzia chekika? - Marpissa

Possibly Hentzia chekika? - Marpissa
West Chester Township, Butler County, Ohio, USA
September 6, 2021
I posted this to iNaturalist, and a user (whose particular emphasis is Salticidae) suggested H. chekika. However, iNat only has observations of that species from Florida. My spider does look similar to BugGuide photos, but BugGuide doesn't have identifying characteristics or a range.

Moved for review
Moved from ID Request. This is probably a young female Marpissa formosa. H. chekika is not known from Ohio.
