A false widow, very low risk.

Thank you for being kind and polite. Your photo is a good example of a “tangle web” – as in my username. 🙂 The only US spiders that have venom of medical concern are the Widows and Recluses. Your photo is very well-focused, we can see that the orange or red “hourglass” isn’t there.
