Black widows are so common where I am, I don't even need to see that hourglass to know it's one. I can even identify males, which don't look very similar to the iconic females.

They also do sometimes have red markings on their back. Just do an image search for black widows; many of them have a whole band of red that goes from the belly up the back. Can't say I've seen any like that IRL, though.
