Moved to Pardosa
Moved from Arctosa littoralis. I took another look and I think I was wrong about this one. I tried to write off the fact that the legs looked kinda long and lanky for Arctosa because it was immature, but I think this is really just a Pardosa instead. See another comparison:

Sorry about that, I hate when I too hastily move something.

No problem!
And thank you for putting in the effort to get an accurate ID even though it is not a good photo. I really appreciate it.

Moved to Arctosa littoralis
Moved from Spiders. Looks like an immature/small one, based on the size of the grains of sand in the picture, but the characteristics seem to be there for Arctosa littoralis. It's a common species of wolf spider found in sandy areas all around Florida. The only other species ever recorded from Florida is Arctosa sanctaerosae, but it looks significantly different.

Moved
Moved from True Spiders. Experts are more likely to look here.
