I believe this is a crab spider of some kind - It's a little hard to tell in the photo but is does appear very flat in real life. Also, because of how long the front four legs are compared to the back four. However, I'm having trouble figuring out what kind of crab spider it is, the abdomen doesn't seem to match any photos I have looked at so far. This guy was found when we were moving stuff around on our porch, and I moved him to my terrarium where I took this photo.

So far my best guess is philodromus praelustris, which I think is close but not correct. The legs seems a little bit different on this guy then all of the praelustris photos I have found, and in my photo the markings on it’s abdomen seem slightly more elongated than round, which seems to differ from the photos as well.
