A Closeup of Callobius severus

I am thinking that this fellow is a female because of the shape of the abdomen and the small palps. Without the use of the flash this photo would not have happened. Their bite is supposedly painful but this spider was more interested in heading for the dark underside of the piece of wood in our woodshed.
