Marking on dorsal surface of cephalothorax and location of the specimen (Louisville Kentucky) certainly point to Loxoceles reclusa. It appears that the spider has the 6 eyes that Loxoceles sp. has, but it really isn’t all that clear in the picture, and I wouldn’t want to base an ID on that. Still, lack of leg banding, long legs, lack of patterning other than the “violin” shape along with the aforementioned locale and marking make me think that this is almost certainly Loxoceles reclusa.

Cosmocalypse

Come on… Definitely a brown recluse.
