Is this a brown recluse?

Cleburne, TX

I know I've asked this before (about a different spider) but I'm fairly new in an area that has these guys, so I get a little scared every time I see a spider that resembles them.

It's pretty small, maybe a little smaller than a penny with legs--maybe dime size. I sort of think it's not because the back 4 legs look shorter--not the look I've seen in pics of brown recluse.

Thanks!

It looks like one of the crab spiders but I don't know which.

Shawnee Mission, KS

I think it might be a Ground Crab Spider in the Genus Xysticus
