Spider ID???

[Colbymgeek]

I found this guy first on the ceiling in the front room. A few days later, my dad noticed what I think is the same spider on the dining room ceiling. He said I had to do somethin' about it, so I put the little guy in a plastic cup I had. I'm wondering what kind of spider he is. I would guess he's some sort of jumping spider, but I have no clue beyond that, if that much is right.
I've attached pictures; I don't know if they'll be any help since they're not the best, but if anyone recognizes what s/he might be... That'd be a great help! Oh, and I wouldn't say his leg span is any longer than an inch, if that much. Thanks!
P.S. I know the pictures look like they're of different spiders, but they're all of the little guy in my plastic container, so I'm pretty sure they're all the same spider!!

It looks to me like a Jumping Spider in the genus Phiddipus.

Yeah? I've been looking up some different species, and I'm thinking maybe it's a Phiddipus Audax? But I have no experience with identifying spiders, so it's all guesswork for me!
Thanks for your help!

Congrats! You've got yourself a little Jumper; P. audax from a quick glance at the photo's. We have a specimen of this species as well and they are the coolest little spidiies; awesome feeders and fun attitudes, LOL!

Here's some information on this species;

I'm curious as to why no one asked WHERE in the U.S. are you located... ?

Oh yeah, I guess that would've been useful information... I'm in Utah; it's pretty cold right now.
