Sorry.
I mentioned Mangora in my initial comment. Going through "ID Request" I decided it was indeed Mangora, specifically M. placida. So, since I had made the prior comment, I didn't feel another was necessary.

Web?
Was there a web present? Without that clue (orb web vs. cobweb vs. sheetweb), I'd have to suggest Mangora as the genus. Very nice image.

....
There was a fairly ragged looking web below the leaf it was on but I can't say for sure what it was supposed to look like. It was sort of mangled....or maybe that is what it was supposed to look like.
