I saw a goofy spider on my patio I need help identifying. Pic I took is from my Crackberry, so it's not the best, but it'll do.

I'm not thinking ant. 8 legs, the white markings on the back look somewhat like a face.

If it's a brown recluse it's the smallest one I've ever seen. Thing was smaller than my pinky nail.

Followed some links from that page to more pics of those bastards. That's the one. This pic is a dead ringer for the one on my patio. Thank's for the help.
