Mimetus hesperus
Mature male has modified palps (look like boxing gloves near mouth). Pirate spiders have a row of long spines on the inner surface of each front leg.
Inside my townhouse, on inside of front door. Remained there most of the day.
Pirate spiders are named for their habit of invading the webs of other spiders and killing the occupant.
