Having trouble properly IDing this little guy.
I suspect it to be a Paravaejovis Spinigerus locale or possibly Centruroides vitattus "pantheriensis" locale.
But it doesn't seem to have smaller and elongated metasomal segments like C. vittatus, but it does have more elongated pedipalps as they do.

An no I did not intentionally handle it not being 100% sure on its species, it just crawled onto my arm while rehousing. So I took advantage of the situation and snapped a photo.

Either Spinigerus or some sort of relative. Not a centruroides.
