A male Crab Spider from the genus Thomisus, either onustus or citrinellus. More likely the former, I think.
From the research I have done on my side, I concur with your finding, namely a male Crab spider (Thomisus onustus). The males are characterized as having a slender body, either green or brown. Many thanks for your help.
