I believe that is a recluse.

I can’t quite make out enough detail to be certain, but it’s either a Brown Recluse (Loxosceles reclusa), or a male Southern House Spider (Kukulcania hibernalis).

In the interest of safety, please be mindful not to handle it. If you have been bitten, please see a doctor as soon as possible.

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 Tentative given the amount of detail in the image … this looks like a male Nursery Web Spider, Pisaurina mira.
