Hi, this appears to be a widow spider in the genus Latrodectus. Not sure which species.
The ventral marking looks like Latrodectus geometricus, a Brown Widow. The hourglass on this species tends to be red-orange and wider than a Black Widow’s. I’m not certain though. The alternative is a Black Widow.
