This one looks for sure like Mastophora phrynosoma. The body shape is distinctive.

Richard! Thank you!
I'm so pleased to have your ID on this spider anchored on BugGuide.
My friend Jonna Mcrury spoke with you earlier this year about doing a spider survey of the Oak Openings region and I get to tag along with her :)
