I found this spider in my restroom. We find a spider occasionally and I don't mind the non-aggressive or non-dangerous ones. Since I'm not good at determining species apart, and this one seems to have a hint of what in my opinion looks like a fiddle on its back, I would like an opinion from the smart guys. Could it be a..... Brown Recluse? If so, it is either a male or a juvenile because it is only about 1/4 inch body length. Total leg span is aprox 2/3 inch. There was no signs of a web anywhere in the restroom, and it was roaming on the floor.
Thanks so much for helping me!

PS: I have several pics from different angles if you need to see more.
