Could someone please help me identify this spider I found under a half-burnt piece of log at my godfather's farm?

The reddish mouthparts resemble some pictures I've seen of Brazilian Wandering spiders, but then again the dorsal markings dont. Im not sure at all. xD

Yeah, those dorsal markings picked up my attention, and Wandering Spiders are usually active, right? After I turned over the log it just stayed there, it didn't even try to attack me, despite me turning the log a few times more to see it again and take the picture. It didn't even seem annoyed, nor did it enter a defensive position, but it was gone after a few minutes I checked back.

I stand in the shadows waiting for you to return me to the light.

It might be a colorization of the Wandering spiders, like a more distinctive dorsal line appearance or a subspecies of the spider itself. But we cannot fully know unless we had a closer image of the spider but otherwise we will never know for sure what species it is.
