No, can't see much more in those
but leave the link for a while in case one of the other editors wants a peak. We still think this is Metepeira. If you look in the guide there, you will find images that look just like yours.

Yes, interesting
do you have any more images, either of the front of the abdomen and carapace or of the ventral side. An image from the back is tough. We're thinking possibly Metepeira and that looks like a Metepeira retreat in the web, but we would like to see more.

Here is
a temporary link to what I have. If any image is helpful (which I doubt) i will upload it to bugguide. It was a windy day, with much poison ivy underfooot.Hard to get different angle.
