Possibly a spitting spider. Would like to confirm that. Found crawling on my hand inside a bathroom near the medicine cabinet. Placed it on sink to take photo.

In the top picture it has its legs positioned like a water spider, but the body shape is different. Spitting Spiders have round body sections that are see-through with brown markings. They are almost always found in bathrooms in the middle of the night. That’s freaked out some people. 😉
