It’s a pretty photo for a spider on a gas pump. 🙂 The species closest in appearance is Misumess oblongus, but I can’t say with certainty. There are a lot of species of Crab Spiders and some can change colors. Being able to see the eyes helps with photo ID and this one wasn’t looking at you. It’s definitely a Crab Spider in family Thomisidae.
