Yes I agree. It’s so translucent it may be a yery young one.

I’m not certain, I think it’s a Flower Crab Spider in family Thomisidae. It probably can change colors. According to Bugguide.net’s comparison chart https://bugguide.net/node/view/2068507 Thomisids’ legs pairs 3 & 4 are shorter than 1 &2. Philodromids have leg pair 2 longer than pair 1.
Philodromids, Running Crab Spiders, run around in a circular motion when interfered with. Their Latin name means “lover of the race course.”
Nice photo of the 8 eyes!

My guess is that it is very young…I think the eyes are more young Philodromid
