Common crab spider?

[Ukwildlifeo]

Im pretty sure this is Xyticus sp. most likely common crab spider (the species name of which eludes me), as thats the commest species!

Can anyone tell which species from these photos or is it a case of Xyticus sp.

Agree it's a Xysticus; maybe one of the spider specialists can take the ID further?

The dark triangle on the carapace ends will a well defined dark line, which would suggest X. cristatus.

But they are a variable and tricky family to attempt an identification based on colouration/markings. So it really needs a microscope (and an expert on the other end) for a confirmed identification.
