It looks like a brown recluse. The best way to tell is by the eye pattern. A brown recluse has 3 pairs of 2 eyes. There are other spider species that have the violin design, besides the brown recluse. They don’t have the same eye pattern. Brown recluse, while medically significant. aren’t quick to bite. If they are pressed against the skin, they may bite.
Unless you have a major infestation,you probably don’t have to worry about it.
If concerned, carefully and quietly relocate and release outside.

Is this a brown recluse? Found crawling out of bathroom and started scurrying fast once noticed.
