looks like a Lynx Spider
of some kind to me, due to the body shape and spiny leg hairs. I'm not certain though, or which one. Best to wait for more opinions.

Wolf spider
The eye arrangement on this specimen is not that of a lynx spider. I believe it is a wolf spider (body posture and relative length of legs says so as well), perhaps in the genus Pirata, but I am much less certain of that, or whether this specimen is even a mature animal.

eyes
I had trouble telling on the eyes of this one, but now I see the rearward Lynx eyes are more toward the top. You're right.
