Orchard spider? - Mangora gibberosa

Orchard spider? - Mangora gibberosa
Springfield, Virginia, USA
September 9, 2004
This was a small spider sitting at the center of a regular (orb) web. It reminds me of an orchard spider, but I'm not certain. Any help in identifying is appreciated.

Sheetweb ?
Looks like the sheetweb spiders in the Linyphiidae. Check the images here (1) and see what you think. But it does look nice a nice orb web! Maybe someone could help with 3520 and 6057 too!

I knew
this was a spider I had seen before, but I just now realized it is Mangora gibberosa. This ID has been bothering me since you asked me to look at it.
