Hmm...
Can you get another image of the face, with better lighting on the eyes?

I'm almost getting a Ctenidae feeling from this, but a good shot of the eyes would confirm that or Dolomedes.

The bottom row was throwing me off, but it's more clear in the other shot.

I'd suggest Dolomedes albineus due to the white band over the clypeus

Cool man, much thanks. This guy has been giving me slot of trouble. He changed color after being in ethanol. My original pic of it on the tree in which I found it got deleted. Thanks again.
