Brian is right.Impossible to give an exact species from a ventral view, but am thinking some kind of wolf spider.This is up to you to judge provided you have not given a dorsal view, so heres some images:
Wolf spider genera:

Grass spider genera:

Tegenaria spp

Any spider matching that image will be harmless.

It's tough to say from the ventral view. Do you have a photo of the dorsal side (top view)?
