Thanks to KelCal70 & the Balabans

Thanks to all for a quick ID of this spider - it is clearly Lecauge venusta from my location; the side-by-side comparison was very informative.

Leucauge venusta

the two Leucauge have very different abdominal patterns

and argyra has only been seen in Florida.

Perhaps...

I think this is one in the Leucauge genus. I have trouble getting these to species myself as their abdomen patterning isn't consistent in my experience. One of the experts can probably ID.
