OK, I took the new abdomen shots. I think they confirm it's a wolf spider.

could be a wolf spider, or a Amaurobius (night spiders) but I´m not sure...

Thank you for helping, Gina! He was sort of upside-down, and to be honest, I was too nervous to get right under him. I should just suck it up and go back for the right photo.

with out looking at its back or abdomen a spider can be difficult to ID, but by its looks is very familiar as Wolf spider.
