Was on the wall outside of my work. Initial guess: Tigrosa Helluo.

I don’t know if enough of her is visible to identify beyond the genus taxon. The white dots are the eyeshine of the babies that were facing toward the camera flash. Was she on a vertical wall or horizontal ledge? Wolf Spiders are very poor at climbing vertical surfaces. I’ve only seen Thin-legged Wolf Spiders in genus Pardosa do it. They don’t get far before their path takes a U-turn and they walk back down the wall.
