What kind of spider is this?

To whom it may concern,
This appears to be a wandering male of the common California tarantula, Aphonopelma species. They are commonly encountered in coastal mountains and the Sierra foothills during autumn. More info here: http://nature.berkeley.edu/~callobius/cbcstuff/common_spiders/big_spi_quilt.html
