It looks to me like a common North American Tarantula or a California Ebony tarantula but the red mark is throwing me. There is a Mexican Red Knee tarantula also but it has a lot more red markings. This specimen also appears to be missing a leg on it's left side.
Do not kill it, it is likely harmless to humans. A tatantula bite is no more serious than a bee sting unless you are allergic. Just capture it in a jar and release it back outside. It looks like a male and males have been known to travel long distances during mating season.
I still could use better information on it. More pics from the side, top and read might help also.
I'm pretty good with my spiders and snakes.
