Wolf spider
must be right. It sure does have an interesting look to it.

Pardosa cf. distincta?
With those long spines, scrawny legs, and that face, it would have to be a Pardosa species, I imagine.

Follow-up: Just took a quick peek at Kaston's "How to Know the Spiders"; assuming that this is one of the more common species, P. distincta would be a likely possibility, I think.

Pardosa cf. distincta?
the only things that bother me about distincta are the open white marking running all the way through the eye region and the slight difference in pattern. Those can probably both be explained by variance within the species. I think we're right with Pardosa at least.
