Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 You have a male California Trapdoor Spider (Bothiocyrtum californicum). This is the underside of the spider – in the future try to to get a dorsal shot too, a lot of spiders are tough to ID from this angle alone. We’ve had quite a few ID requests for these in the past few days.

Note to admin.: species page needed for Bothiocyrtum californicum.
