This looks like a species of Ground Crab Spider, Genus Xysticus. This one is a male. Males and females of this genus are sexually dimorphic (they differ in appearance). It is difficult to say exactly which species it is since many of them look similar but here is a link that may help: http://bugguide.net/node/view/6750/bgpage
