Unknown Orb Weaver - Larinioides sclopetarius

Unknown Orb Weaver - Larinioides sclopetarius
Flushing Meadows Park, Queens County, New York, USA

Moved
Moved from ID Request. These are all very nice, showing how much variation there can be in this species. Thanks for posting all of these. I'm using all of them on the info page.

Furrow Spider (Larinioides)
But I'll leave it to the others to say which species.

 
L. sclopetarius?
Hmm, based on the two males I would suspect sclopetarius again, but the fourth metatarsus' middle band is kind of faint. Legs are fairly thin though, which fits. Let's see what others think.
