Keep finding these lil guys in my house

Keep finding these long legged lil bros in my home. This is bro number three so far. Any idea what they are? Super fast and hard to grab and stick in the rescue jar.

I believe that's a Brown Recluse. It appears to have the telltale fiddle on its back.
I kind of hope I'm wrong though.

  More info and a photo to help you determine for yourself. The eye pattern is often the real tell if it's a recluse or not: https://mdc.mo.gov/discover-nature/field-guide/brown-recluse-violin-spider
  
  Just looked it up. Southern US. Probably a recluse based on my bad internet research. No more hand handling. I yote one out the window into the bushes by hand last week. Whoops.
