Looks
like P. borealis for me, after browsing the guide.

Most similar looking is
but perhaps there are other characteristics I don't even know about or just cannot see??

Thanks again...

Phidippus
Chad is probably correct. This is an adult male Phidippus of either borealis or purpuratus. I suspect that it's probably P. borealis, but I'm not 100% certain.

This is
one of the Phidippus, perhaps a P. borealis. Look around there in the guide while you wait for confirmation.
