The eye arrangement,does that offer any clues?

Yes the mid strip is missing.
Thank you Hema, it could be a Slender Crab Spider (?) maybe a recently molted one so still lacking the stripe on the cephalothorax?
Tibullus sp. of Family Philodromidae (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibellus). This genus can have legs about equal in length. The rest of the family of Running Crab Spiders have the second pair of legs longer than the first, which this one doesn't have. I'm not sure enough to name it.
slender crab spider or running crab spider?
