Wolf spider theory still holds, and I wouldn't be surprised if its a Pardosa:

Unfortunately, they are rarely identified to the species level. Posted 2 years ago

  That photo is very similar isn't it - making the same upright pose, which is what it would do if it felt I was invading its space. My book says we have about 30 Pardosa sp. differentiated mainly by their genitalia... so not much chance from a photo.
  The area that it was at (a railing next to a trail next to a river) was full of different spiders... In addition to the wolf spider, there were zebra jumpers, bronze lake jumpers, some tiny ant mimic jumpers (way too fast to get any photos... I tried), European garden spiders, and one big female bold jumper (which is our only large sized jumping spider.), which I unfortunately didn't get any well focused photos of before she went and hid. Beautiful spider though - black and white with big iridescent green chelicerae. Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

    Yep, Pardosa are near-impossible to identify. Interesting, the high concentration of spiders near that river. Posted 2 years ago
