Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

Initially thought it was a (very large) wolf spider, but then when I found SpiderID, I believe it to be a Dark Fishing Spider. Was found mid-afternoon in a wooden storage shed on a wooden step-ladder.

I’m leaning wolf spider because of the eye reflections (https://www.sccdnh.org/single-post/2019/03/20/follow-the-eyeshine) but I know dock spiders are related, so they may have that trait too. The body and legs look a bit more like a dock spider but I always have trouble telling the two apart.
