Hi, welcome to SpiderID. 🙂 You found a Mygalomprph/some sort of Trapdoor Spider, maybe in the genus Myrmekiaphila (Wafer-lid Trapdoor Spider)? I’m not too well versed with Mygalomorphs, perhaps one of the others will know more.

Do you happen to have more of a side view of this one? I’d like to see a detail on one of the first legs to confirm my suspicion of Myrmekiaphila. I think I can see it in your image here but if you have a clearer image of it that would make the ID firm.
