Pisauridae
I'm thinking family Pisauridae, nursery web and/or fishing spiders.
The long legs and the two rows of eyes are indicative of these spiders - although I did not find this color scheme during a cursory search.

Crab spider?
My impression is of a crab spider, perhaps Philodromus or Thanatus. That's a real guess though.

I agree.
A really attractive specimen, and nice image. Reminds me most of a philodromid crab spider.
