...
can you flip it over and get a photo of underside for possible ID?

sure
actually, the first pic i took, i didn't even realize it was upside down, so i added that image. i flipped it over with a stick for the other images. if it's still there, i can take some more if there's a particular area that is helpful with ID.

ventral looks right for
Hogna baltimoriana. Thanks for the ventral shot. This species is a burrower but does venture off and occasionally, as is your case, ends up on the front porch.
