Hi, this isn’t the right side of the spider for an ID … ideally it’s usually the top of the spider that has the most recognizable features when trying to ID from a photo like this. At first glance this looks like it could be a Recluse, but I don’t think it is. The shape of the abdomen is off, as are the shape of the palps (leg-like appendages near the spider’s mouth), and I can make out some spines on the legs that a Recluse shouldn’t have.

Ok well we did have another one like this but bigger a month prior so idk I guess I’ll take a better pic next time.. thank you for your help
Hi. I can see this is not a recluse nor anything of medical significance.
Looks a bit like a running crab spider to me, but can’t make the eye pattern
Thank you! I was thinking the same or someone suggested a huntsman! But I’m just happy it’s not a recluse!
The huntsman in your region are the heteropoda venatoria and they have some distintive features. A juvenile may come close, but the face on your spider seems too narrow and rounded. Shape of the abdomen is more like that of flatties(suggested) and Philodromids.
