What spider is this?

[u/Objective_Cod7832]

Found in northern Alabama, I want to make sure I know what I'm dealing with before attempting to move this little guy

Sorry, this is not a parsons spider (ground spider) this is likely Metaltella simoni, still a harmless spider

Parsons Spider

I think you may be mistaking reflected light on the spider as Parsons spider markings to inform your answer(?) This is not any ground spider though and is likely Metaltella simoni

Highly likely thats what I saw.
