Brown recluse? Hopefully not
Looks like a Cheiracanthium but I’m not sure of the species
For Cheiracanthum in USA there is one species that is an outdoor spider, C. inclusum. The other is indoors only, C. mildei. Technically it takes a microscope to tell them apart, but we go with ´outdoors = probably C. inclusum. Indoors = could be either. The outdoors one where I live in the Northeast are bigger and greenish and much more likely to bite.
