This isn’t a brown recluse is it? I was told wolf spider but it doesn’t look hairy to me. If it’s a wolf he can stay but if he’s a recluse I need to know! Thanks so much!

Not a recluse, they aren’t in Connecticut. I’m originally from Tolland and Woodstock, CT. If the spider is on a cement wall it isn’t likely to be a Wolf Spider, they’re top-heavy. The exception is Thin-legged Wolf Spiders, they can walk on vertical cement briefly before falling. I don’t know what it is from the photo. You can try again with another photo if you want to. Cell phones take better photos of small things if you use a flashlight or lantern to provide more light on the subject for the camera to use to autofocus.
As TangledWeb stated, this is not a recluse. I believe this is a funnel weaver. (grass spider/house spider)
They can resemble wolf spiders, but their eyes are quite different. Harmless in any event.
