Nice find. Judging by the way the color shows on the abdomen, I feel pretty confident that this is Phiddipus audax, Bold Jumper. Scroll down on the P. audax Bugguide page and they show a comparison of how the abdomen looks between P. audax and P. regius.

There are a few Phidippus jumping spiders that are very similar and difficult to ID. For example Bold Jumper ( P. audax) and Regal Jumper (P. regius) http://bugguide.net/node/view/2006/bgpage http://bugguide.net/node/view/6790/bgpage
