This attractive spider has been making a good living near my moth lights.

Moved
Moved from Gray Cross Spider. Moved based on the orange carapace instead of gray. All three species can be found in this area.

Moved
Moved from Furrow spiders.

ID
It looks like it "might" be Larinioides (Nuctenea) patagiatus in the Araneidae. They often occur around houses or buildings.

 
Possibly Larinioides (Nuctenea) patagiatus
Thanks, John.
