Hi, see above image for ID.
The legs seem to be smaller and the spider seems to be darker. I’m not an expert in anyway, but is this identification accurate?
Here’s one that looks immature to compare to, yours might be immature . The color is much lighter on the one in the following link because it likely recently molted. It is mostly the Christmas tree shaped pattern on the abdomen that I am basing this ID on. I’m not aware of any other species in the area that look like this and have that exact mark.
