What kind of little spider

Roanoke, VA

Found this cute little bugger trying to help me build my Millennium Falcon. I took a lot of pics trying to see it's front legs because it looked like it might have pincers like a pseudoscorpian. Never could get a good side view though. Anyone have a good ID for it?

Thank you,
Eric

It's a jumping spider (family Salticidae); possibly in the genus Metacyrba - see https://elp.tamu.edu/ipm/bugs/class-arachnida-araneae-salticidae-metacyrba-taeniola-similis-jumping-spiders-a/ for an example.

How cool! Thank you! I wonder why it refused to jump. I've seen spiders that jump as soon as you look at them. I guess it didn't feel I was a threat.
