It’s a Fishing Spider in genus Dolomedes. Dark Fishing Spiders usually have black and orange leg band markings. I can’t see what colors it was from the photo. The next-best option is White-Banded Fishing Spider, Dolomedes albineus. The photo angle doesn’t show the area under the eyes in a way that shows if the band is there. If you have an unfiltered photo with better lighting you may submit it as a new submission if you wish.
