This is a Nursery web spider Family Pisauridae ...Pisaurina mira.
The Tibellus sp....Slender crab spider as the name suggests is a slender and elongated spider belonging to Family Philodromidae . Another difference is in the line running down the centre of the body is much broader in case of the Pisaurina sp. than the Tibellus sp. :))
