Thank you John & Jane!
After viewing many of the Furrow spider images I believe you are correct on the ID for this spider. It is perhaps a spiderling, as it is somewhat similar in size and appearance to this spiderling:

a Gray Cross Spiderling - Larinioides sericatus.

Also the two pale marks on the ventral abdomen seen distinct for Furrow spiders.


Moved from Mesh Web Weavers.

Strikes us rather as an Orb Weaver
maybe genus Larinioides. Let's see what others think.
