Moved
Moved from Spiders. Nice shot. The banded legs and strong yellow/orange stripe on the carapace suggest Tigrosa georgicola. They are very similar to Tigrosa aspersa, but in that species the carapace stripe is only bold/strong on the front portion near the eyes (as opposed to this one where it is bold and extends the full length of the carapace).

Moved for expert attention.
Moved from ID Request. I agree that this is a wolf spider. If you have a dorsal view, it will help the experts narrow it down.

No...only side shots
No other pictures other than the side view.
