That is the species suggested in response to my query on BG as well.

Dolomedes tenebrosus, perhaps? That was my gut feeling without being able to safely offer the species info. :-)

Thank you very much, Aaron_G. I just got a reply from BG that suggests the same genus and a possible species. Great stuff all around. :)
