It looks similar to a Slender Crab Spider (Tibellus) to me, but a little wider. Thank you for your help.

crab spider - Nice one!
It's so refreshing to see some new spiders. I don't know if I've ever seen one like this before. Very cool. It's going to take some research but hopefully we can figure it out. I'm not going to guess genus at this point since I've never seen one like this before.

As usual I'd like to see all the angles you can provide... and a description of habitat as well as a size guess.

Philodromus maybe? I'm not certain. Moved for further attention.
