This could be a white-banded crab spider, Misumenoides formosipes - see http://tinyurl.com/yfaap4j and http://tinyurl.com/yjwkblc for examples. Some spiders in the genus Misumenops can be very similar in appearance, but their body is hairier - see http://tinyurl.com/ykn64dh for an example.

I am going to say that it looked most like formosipes, I would have noticed the hairs they speak of with the other spider.

Thanks for the infor.
