Phidippus sp.
Jumping spider
It could be a male Regal Jumper as well. I don't see the iridescent hairs on the abdomen but it could be an angle/light thing.
There is a comparison if you scroll down the page:

I agree with Cindy. This is a tough one.
This MIGHT be the Bold Jumper but I cannot say for certain with these two images. Definitely Phidippus with the green chelicera. Beautiful!
