I don't know very much about spiders but the shape looks like a common black widow, but the color is too light,at least for my area.

I thought the shape looked widowish too but, like Dale said, definitely too light. maybe you could research that family of spiders? or something? lol

I wouldn't even try to identify a spider, but there are a few different "widow" spiders. I believe there is a brown or tan widow, which would look a lot like the spider in your pictures.

A Brown Recluse?

this is a brown recluse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_recluse

and this is a brown widow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_widow

both look somewhat similar but I don't think we've got a match...

Definitely not a Brown Recluse or Widow.

As best as I can figure is maybe in the family Clubionidae (Sac Spiders).

Neat spider! He is not medically significant, so, no worries. :)

Recluse

It is not a comb footed spider nor is it a recluse. It is also not a True Spider (widows, recluses, huntsmen ect...)

The fangs look to be curved under the mouth so i'm thinking that it could be in the family of Wolf spiders (Lycosidae). There are so many of them. try whatsthatbug.com

I skimmed through the first 4 pages of the spiders and if you can't find any thing send them your photo and they will look it up for you.

try this one:

from here: http://crawford.tardigrade.net/journal/album7030.html

Its a clubiona pacifica, a sac spider. It can be found in the following california counties: El Dorado Co., Humboldt Co., Marin Co., Mariposa Co., Santa Cruz Co., Siskiyou Co., Tulare Co.
might not be your exact species, but I'd be willing to bet that there's a similar species that lives where you do.

Bleh...

I agree with you heather, my wife thinks its hilarious that I can reach in and pull an angry momma bp off her eggs or easily pick up a large burm or retic and the like yet you bring a spider the size of a penny near me and I'll scream like a little girl!

i HATE small spiders, they creep me out. But I LOVE T's

How could you NOT like that ittle tiny little spider? D:
