Spider - Dolomedes vittatus

Spider - Dolomedes vittatus
Adams County, Pennsylvania, USA
August 4, 2008
Size: Large
This spider was in tall grass next to a pond. The spider was in a vertical position on a narrow leaf. I rotated this photo to get a better perspective of it.
I think it is a Fishing Spider, perhaps Dolomedes tenebrosus. Is it possible to confirm or correct this ID from these photos?

Thanks.

Dolomedes vittatus
You are close, but I believe this is D. vittatus rather than D. tenebrosus. Here's a link to the vittatus page if you would like to compare:

Yes, the close up of Stephen Cresswell's is almost a dead ringer for mine. Thanks Brett, I appreciate your help.
