Identifying a spider very similar to a brown recluse
I think this a nice male Cheiracanthium inclusum, the familiar "yellow sac spider" (outdoors edition).  The abdomen is what you would expect, the very long first pair of legs, the obvious eyes at the front of the head (middle two of the top row).
I'd feel more comfortable if I could see the usual very dark 'face' and chelicerae, but the angle of the photo is such that it might be just hidden.  The carapace pattern looks interesting, but it may well be that the flash of the photo is giving us a different look there.

Here's the link to the Bug Guide page, with a representative photo of a similar male:
