ID for a spider? - Oxyopes scalaris

This large, strikingly marked spider was sitting on a leaf of red buckwheat (Eriogononum grande rubescens) in my garden. Any information about it's identity will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
Thanks, John and Jane and Lynette! This seems to be quite a common spider, but it was new to me.
