I tried to get a better angle on the gold on this fella. The pattern on his/her back was all metallic gold, as well as the stripes on their legs. Their pedipalps were bright white and metallic green fangs. Only about 5-6 millimeters long. I couldn't find a definitive ID after searching, and I appreciate any help.
This fella showed up and just wanted to continually jump on my hand as I was drawing outside. He/she was constantly looking in my eyes and even cocked their little head at me. This went on for an hour before they finally found a good spot on the Adirondack. It melted my heart, such a sweet little baby.

Update! I think I've identified the spider. Anasaitis canosa also known as the twin-flagged jumping spider .
Nice job. I think you're correct, but I'm just a wild guesser. Here's a cool link with gobs of info.
This is a fantastic link. Thank you so much for sharing I also went back out later in the day and found him again. I also found his nest. Here's one of the photos I took of him. I named him Alfred.
