Female
I think this is the best place for her. I am pretty confident of the ID now. I have been reading about these for a while and this is a known species for NB and her red scales help cement the ID. There is another image from Chris Adams form Fredericton that is also likely this species which I will move tentatively.

 
Thanks Denis!
thank you Denis.

I agree.
See other comments above.

 
Thanks!
... for the input ... this is an oldie! I will check those out.

Jumping spider is correct
Moved from ID Request. I frassed one image (not needed) and put this one first because it has the markings that are needed for an ID.
