 Brown Recluse spider?

I found this crawling on my sheets as I was laying in bed about to bite me and I am really scared now! I live near Tampa, FL.









Anyone know 100% for sure what this is?

It looks pretty shrivelled and dead... And it does look like a brown recluse. I’ve never seen one that close up before, but that looks like a fiddle on it’s back.

Here’s a brown recluse spider:

My spider doesn’t look like one or the OP’s doesn’t? I’ve only ever seen the ones that look like the one in my picture. The OP’s spider does seem to have a fiddle, but it’s not nearly as pronounced as in any of the brown recluse I’ve seen before... So I can’t say for sure one way or the other.
