It seems to be a male Colonus Sylvanus(Sylvana Jumping Spider). I noted was that this specimen was very skittish. I found the spider at roughly five thirty PM on a tall and thin bush. Front legs to back it was roughly half an inch long. I also have other pictures and a video witch may better display this specimen.
PS-Does any one know any good reference for studying specific Salticidae?

Hi, welcolme to Spider ID. 🙂 Off the top of my head some good resources for Jumping Spider info. are:

THANKS! Every resource wants to talk about Salticidae as a whole, but never individual species. This is really helpful, thanks a ton 😀
