would need to see ventral side and look at the hourglass to be sure.
Trust me this is a Northern black widow. You can tell the difference. I am really pleased with all your comments. You seem well educated.
I believe this is a male northern black widow

Yea lol
This is a Latrodectus mactans (Southern Black widow. Northern Black widows have the second red dot (from the cephalothorax up) wider then high.
Northern Black Widow – Insect ID = 93% confidence
