There is a guy on FR that is great at identifying stuff like this but I can't remember his screen name.

Found it.

It's of the family Dysderidae.

Looking into it more there's another similar spider called the Harpactes rubicundus. Looking at the head it seems more likely to be that kind.

Either way it's bite seems to be an annoyance but not a problem.
