Baby Wolf Spider?

Was wondering if this was a baby wolf spider or just a grass spider

 

[G. pulchra]

Looks like a Lycosidae to me.

And thanks for the pic and reminder. I was staring at a little spork yesterday trying to note easy methods to tell lyco from sparassid youngsters at a glance. It's pretty obvious now that I compare the two.

Lycosid but may just be an adult of Pardosa sp. or something that doesn't get very big.

How does one tell the difference between wolf spiders and grass spiders?

At a glance without getting down on your belly with a magnifying glass, the general rule is look for Agelenopsis rear bumper ornaments.

Not sure what it is, but it's not a wolf spider!
