Description:

Small spider seen in the Mississippi Guld Coast. From online research, it could be a Green Huntsman or Green Lynx. Would appreciate help in identifying. Thanks!

Looks like a young male Lyssomanes viridis. You're probably not going to find the green huntsman (Micrommata virescens) in North America- it has a European range. Green lynx males have larger palpal bulbs, and legs are generally a more yellow color and hairier than your picture.
