spider - Araneus marmoreus
IDNR site, Peoria County, Illinois, USA
November 4, 2009
Size: 1-1 1/2"
I thought that this might be Araneus marmoreus, but I am not sure. It seems to be quite a bit oranger than usual. Although I have seen this a couple of times in Cook County, where I am from, this was seen in Peoria County instead.

i agree with Araneus marmoreus
They vary from yellow to orange, and the legs on yours look right.
These I found in KS go from nearly white to orange - marbled orb weaver
