If it were a tarantula, it'd be a very young one... looks like a member of the Lycosidae, or a "wolf spider" of some sort but can't say which species exactly.
Nope, that's a Wolf Spider, probably in the genus Hogna. Look at the eye arrangement; you can see two large, forward-facing eyes, something no tarantula would have, but something that IS a characteristic of Lycosids(Wolf Spiders). Still, don't be too disappointed; other than being a lot faster and not usually as handleable as many tarantulas, these do have a long lifespan for a true spider and make easy and interesting captives.
