Moved
Moved from Jumping Spiders. Looks like S. vitis to me to, judging on abdomen pattern and general structure.

My guess is...
...that this is Sassacus vitis. (See here to check your image against the others.) It seems to be a pretty common jumper here in So. California and I know that Ron Hemberger has a particular fondness for this species... The markings on yours are not as definitive as some that I've seen, but I'm still pretty sure of the ID.
