It is probably some kind of jumping spider. Can you easily see its eyes? Does it move by jumps? Does it have a web? Jumping spiders are free roaming and have excellent eyesight. They are almost all harmless and eat a lot of the undesirable bugs. I think of them as the wrestlers of the spider world. The family is Salticidae.
