Moved for expert attention.
Moved from Recluse Spiders. This is where I was trying to move it the first time. Oops! It looks very much like a Brown Recluse.

Brown Recluse
Definitely a Loxosceles and the species is most likely Loxosceles reclusa (Brown Recluse). It's a male.

Might be a Brown Recluse... watch out these are venomous
