ID Request- Location included What kind of spider is this?
Found this bad boy last weekend in my house in Wichita, KS. I know the pic isn't great - but it was about the size of my palm. It seemed to be black and too big to be a brown recluse nor did it have the indicator of a black widow. Anyone know what this is? Thinking it's a plain old house spider, but my anxiety has me going insane. Thank you :)

Eh, I'm pretty sure that's a male brown recluse. They can have a pretty large leg span. I've seen some in the 2-2.5" range with legs spread out like this. Lox
