Don't know!
He was high above my head and I couldn't get a good look at him until I got the pic into my computer. I did have to use a flash so it may be just a reflection of light.

Looks like a male orb weaver
in the genus Larinioides

Thanks,
J & J I appreciate knowing the genus and gender!

Can't see the palps (boxing gloves!)
clear enough to be able to say whether he is mature or not, but maybe Lynette can, and she may be able to tell you which species also.

I like the "boxing gloves" description!
He was high on a wall, and I could only get this angle. Lynette does very well with my less than sharp images:)
