Thanks Joe!
I can't see the carapace spines well enough to determine that this is not Misumena vatia. Mecaphesa asperata is a possibility, but those lateral bands on the abdomen have me thinking Misumena vatia. Without more detail, I probably wouldn't call this better than Thomisidae.
Thank you Arun & Ashish!
