It's not. It looks like a wolf spider, almost, although they tend to be
hairier and more grey. A brown recluse has an abdomen much larger than its
thorax (this one the thorax is slightly larger), it tends to be a more
perverse brown-grey-green, and there's no fiddle marking. I mean, the fiddle
marking really does look like a fiddle, at least from the ones I remember
seeing in camp showers as a kid (shiver -- that'll put some paranoia in you).
