This spider is a black/brown with small white splotches. There is no hourglass. I'm sorry she is upside down for the photo, she will not turn over! Can someone try to help me ID her better? Thanks!

The false widow (Steatoda grossa) is a cobweb spider. You spider is definitely a cobweb spider, and pretty likely the genus is Steatoda as I'm guessing it is a sizable dark spider, but would need a lot more detail to determine a species.
