This looks awfully similar to a bold jumper (Phidippus audax) – a very common species of jumping spider. They can get fairly large for a jumping spider and are pretty easy to identify due to the markings on the abdomen and iridescent colored fangs.
I agree. Second time I saw one and the other was larger and could see the fangs. Took up a defensive position when I got too close.
