Spider identification?

Encino, CA

Found this guy in my house. Can anyone tell what type of spider it is?

Difficult to be certain because of the angle(s) from which the photos were taken, but could be a cobweb spider (family Theridiidae) in the genus Steatoda. When photographing spiders for identification purposes, the two most useful aspects are a full dorsal (top side) view and a frontal aspect that shows the eye pattern.
