Does anyone know of a website that would show with pics what face of Mars is showing at that moment?

Thanks!

Try a search for these two keywords:
duplessis meridian

That will lead you to the Meridian software download (freeware). Graphics aren't fabulous, but it's a nice program. It covers Mercury, Venus, Luna, Mars, Jupiter, & Saturn.

Not sure of the status of Mars Previewer II, but recent reports note that the program was infected with a Chernobyl-variant virus. The virus is certainly removable, if you're comfortable &/or willing to play Dr. Quarantine Surgeon and try that. Hopefully, this fine program will be cured soon.

Best wishes.
