Not sure, but curious if it's venomous? Never seen this type around my area.

Tibellus oblongus possibly

TangledWeb

Pisaurina sp. There are four species of Nursery Web Spiders in Alabama. That part of the country tends to have many Pisauridae. The four Pisaurina species in AL are: P. mira, P brevipes, P. undulata, and P. dubia. https://bugguide.net/adv_search/bgsearch.php?taxon=2918&location%5B%5D=AL
I think it looks closest to P. dubia.
dunkeytown, it has venom for killing prey and self-defense. It isn’t a medically significant species. They are closely related to Fishing Spiders. Both make special enclosures, nursery webs, around their egg sacks to keep the young from wandering away individually and to help the mother guard them..
