This is a pregnant female. Here's a link to a map from Bug Guide. It shows the range of the different species of recluse spiders. Based on body type and leg arrangement, I agree that your spider is one. http://bugguide.net/node/view/33527 I can't quite see the defining "fiddlehead" on your spider (possibly due to photo lighting - I think it is there), but you live within the range for Brown Recluses, and the abdomen and overall coloration look right for that spider.
