Not
sure which genus. I have a subadult male and female that are very similar to this one. After their final molt, the fully developed reproductive organs will narrow it down to genus and possibly species.
They seem fairly common in my area, and I think they are Gladicosa, but yours could still be in a different genus. Wolf spiders are often hard to ID past family from image alone.

Another word used in place of subadult is penultimate. Both refer to the second to last instar, the final instar being maturity.
