I think it is one of the ground spiders. I think it is most like a mouse spider... Scotophaeus blackwalli....but it could also be a ground spider in the genus Drassoides or Haplodrassus. You would need a good picture of the top 2 eyes to tell them apart. From what I can make out on your picture the 2 eyes shining on top of the spiders head most resemble those of the mouse spider...

This is a Green Lynx Spider. They hunt by hiding where insects might go then chasing them. They are said to run like a lynx, I haven't seen one move. They have a very cool ability to change colors by moving liquid pigments around inside their bodies to match colors and patterns around them. Yours is mostly in the default coloring plus some added pigment tan and gray segments on the legs... Discussion Thread
