Trapdoor spider?
I think it is a very cool trapdoor spider in genus Myrmekiaphila. If you click this thumbnail you can compare the image to yours and read some previous comments about the relative dangerousness of this spider.

(Spoiler alert: they are not normally aggressive, and poison danger is approximately zero, but it would hurt if it bit you because the fangs are quite big.)
