Hi, your spider is a female funnel weaver,looks to be Eraigena genus,likely giant house spider.
Looks quite gravid I might add.

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 Tentatively filed to genus (Eratigena), lateral views are tricky to ID from. A dorsal is usually preferable.

Hi, I didn’t see that help much, big enough to be giant house spider.
A video for you:
