Spiny orb weaver? - Micrathena gracilis - Female

I believe this is some type of spiny orb weaver female, but correction or confirmation is much appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, we agree
Female, Micrathena gracilis

My guess would be...
... Spined micrathena, Micrathena gracilis . The ones I see are not generally this brown, but there are photos with somewhat similar coloration in the guide and the body shape is consistent.
