Interesting pattern,
it reminds me of Steatoda triangulosa. I'm wondering if it's possible it's a juvenile triangulosa with the mottled coloring like the black widow has the mottled coloring as a juvenile?? I should also add it looks similar to some of the other Steatoda as well.

Probably Dictyna
This is probably a species of Dictyna. Maybe Jeff Hollenbeck will say for sure.
