Six Spotted Fishing Spider
This is a male fishing spider. I would say it is a male "six-spotted fishing spider" (Dolomedes triton).





Update:
I posted this at almost the same time as Eric, and with that said, I am not one of the spider experts he was really referring to... :)

Male Dolomedes.
This is actually a male fishing spider in the genus Dolomedes. Not sure which one this is, but one of our other spider experts will know. Nice image, thanks for sharing.
