This looks more like a jumping spider, than a brown recluse.

Yep. That’s a jumper.
This is a brown recluse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_recluse_spider#/media/File:Loxosceles_reclusa_adult_male_4.jpg

You can tell by the fact that jumping spiders are cute and recluse spiders are not.

Jumping spiders are the tigers of the mm scale. They jump and pounce, they stare at you and stalk their prey, they carefully plan their attack from a strategic vantage point, they are cute, furry and pettable…so long as you are at least twice as large.

If I only were twice as large I totally wouldn’t pet one

Which really isn’t that much of a challenge considering the largest jumping spiders are 2.5cm in length.
