Hi. This looks to be a ground crab spider, Thomisidae family, Xysticus species.
Very harmless, sort of cool little spiders. Fine indoors if you have insects but more an outdoor spider.

A similar genus is Bassaniana, bark crab spider, here is one of those stroling by to pay me a visit:

These just have a wider lateral eye pattern, otherwise hard to tell apart.
Their body segment is more triangular also.
