Theridion
Light brown tiny spider with white markings on its back
Was under a floater in my pool
Glad we found it! Thanks to DanielWhitlock for the correct ID!
Genus Theridion is pretty big and there are at least 3 similar looking species in the genus. You might be able to find the species if you look at range. Here is a link that might help:

I'm sure this isn't one of the Latrodectus sp., though I believe it is of the same family, Therididae, or cobweb weavers. Not sure on which genus just yet.
Really? Wow that would be kinda neat. Although the ones I have seen also have the red markings so Im not so sure.
