I disagree. It’s body shape looks more like a Dolomedes. Furthermore, it has four eyes of roughly equal size on the top, as opposed to the two large two small arrangement of wolf spiders.
Good call. Looking back at a frontal view closeup photograph, the lower 4 eyes are also curved up in a smile, not down in a frown. I am now thinking D. scriptus female. Thanks
Even more embarrassed now! I wrote on D. scriiptus on our blog last year. http://springfieldmn.blogspot.com/2016/07/fishing-spider.html
