I want to say that might be a Phoneutria boliviensis, but the genus isn't my speciality. I would suggest giving the animal a healthy amount of respect in case it is as the venom toxicity can be quite severe.
Phoneutria sp for sure, I want to say P depilata as you mentioned it was found in Costa Rica and they look very similar to the image you posted. Venom is quite nasty across the genus. One bite from that could potentially send an adult to ER.
+1 to the above.
This one is indeed Phoneutria depilata 100%. Great find! I love Phoneutria. I would say this species is the least defensive from the genus, and it rarely bites unless it is cornered and forcibly grabbed. Because of this we do not know enough about its toxicity compared to other species in the genus.
