Could you please help me, is this a loxosceles?

I have been finding this tiny spiders around my house lately, the closest I found are loxosceles, but I'm not really sure.
I haven't seen any adult specimens around, the ones I've seen so far are from about 0.7cm to 1.5cm approximately (naked eye estimation).
What stands the most is the length of the second pair of legs, it is basically double the size of the rest of them, they are fairly transparent (no solid color) with no decorations (bands on legs etc), even the bigger ones I've seen the legs are also quite thin (not as much as regular long legs spiders) but thinner than the average house/garden spider.
Also some of them look like crabs, especially on a resting position they tend to place their legs on a U shape position, they are kind of cute, but kind of scary too.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the blurriness, they are quite small and this is the first time I have my phone at hand while looking at one.
