The abdominal pattern and large spines on the legs looks like the Green Lynx Spider, Peucetia viridans, in the family Oxypopidae.

Thanks for ID-ing my spider pic! Okay, that’s two Lynx spider votes, on two different photos. After comparing my guesses with your ID and the earlier ID, I’m inclined to agree. I really appreciate your advice.
