Iszak's first spider for ID - Oecobius
Irvine Residence, Orange County, California, USA
Small spider shot by grandson Iszak Hemberger, age 9, with a Nikon D80 and 105mm macro. (Grandpa was surprised he did so well with the camera his first time out.)

Looks like it might be Oecobius
especially if it was on the side of the house and very small. Can't make out the pattern on the abdomen well, but you can check here

I'll put Iszak on the trail.
We may tamper with the photo a bit first to bring out more of the pattern. Thanks, J&J!

Hi Ron!
Nice photo - reminds me a bit of his grandpa's photo of a wall spider from a ways back - like this one? Not sure, though...
