It reminds me very much of Genus Steatoda, the False Widows; its legs are a little stockier than I would expect on Latrodectus, the Widow Spiders. Steatoda is also consistent with the size; they are typically much smaller than Widows. Unfortunately, I can’t really see any markings (common problem with Steatoda), so I have no idea as to species.
