This is Mecaphesa dubia. I have not yet posted to the net photos of my specimens that look like this, but they confirm to M. dubia when dissected.

Lovely spot Susan! This is a Mecaphesa sp. possibly m. asperata which is a highly variable species in terms of color http://bugguide.net/node/view/6061
You could always submit this to bugguide for identification.
