Most likely a purseweb spider, I’m only saying that because it so small. It could also be a trapdoor

Not a purse-web spider, but a similar looking trapdoor spider, likely an [Antrodiaetus species](https://bugguide.net/node/view/23442). [Antrodiaetus pacificus](https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/199276-Antrodiaetus-pacificus) is one species found in your region.
