I would say Phalangium opilio female probably.
There should be a pair of small pale forward pointing 'horns' on the supra-cheliceral lamella (let's call it nose) just in front of the leading edge of the 'carapace'. I think I can see one from the larger side view.
Otherwise, the markings look typical for that species. |

I would say that is definitely Phalangium opilio. There are plenty of sharp 'spines' forward of the eyes (but no sign of a 'trident' arrangement) and those two white 'horns' are clearly visible. |
