Very handsome! This one took me a bit of research. I think this is a pretty good match for a male P. ostiosus.

Notice the knee joints on the last pair of legs? typical of Habronattus sp.

Cutie.
Definitely looks Phidippus genus but those white patches on cephalothorax are mysterious.
I wonder if it had blue-green chelicerae?
