I am guessing it is a wolf spider species of some sort but can’t tell due to lack of markings on the cephalothorax and abdomen. I just need help with the specific species 🙂
This is a mature male little spider. It’s pedipalps look to be relatively large and pointed from the angle the picture was taken. The legs have dark bands. Unfortunately there are quite a few spiders …in different families…that have these attributes. In the funnel weaver family it is quite like something in the Coras or Wadotes genera…. https://spiderid.com/picture/54763/
Another possibility is Metaltella simoni in a totally different family…https://bugguide.net/node/view/1223806
The leg banding is not an exact match for any of these choices so it could be something else
Yeah it was hard to get a good angle cause his legs were sorta covering his cephalothorax. He did have very large and pointed pedipalps. He was wandering across my hallway floor when I found him. He definitely looks more like a funnel weaver (Coras) in person. The texture is basically the same. M. simoni has a different texture on its legs and cephalothorax.
