Thank you very much, Jellis and Machi. I was thinking about the Bold kind too. But darn, I can see it being a young regal too!

Believe this is a Bold jumping spider. There are variations but it is the most common jumper

I would guess a young Phidippus regius, but I'm not positive. See http://bugguide.net/node/view/6790/bgima...
