Help IDing brown spider, found indoors in Northeast

Lodi, NY

Hi All -

I live in upstate New York, and I've been finding a spider like this at least a couple times a week in my bathroom. It's usually clinging to the shower curtain. It's less than an inch long, furry, brown. Any ideas what it could be?

Thank you!

Looks like it might be a Jumping Spider, Platycryptus undatus.

If you can, try catching it to release outside. I've done this a number of times.

I think you're right, Chillybean! Thanks. I do try to take them outside. I also wish they would stay outside!
