Moved from Spiders. It's a recluse, but not the brown recluse. It appears from the range map it's most likely Loxosceles deserta.

Moved from ID Request.
Moved for expert review. It's a Loxoxceles but I don't know which one. There's a lot of species in CA, without putting it under a microscope it might not be able to be IDed further than genus.
