Moved tentatively
Moved from Orb Weavers. This is my best guess based on what I can see of the ventral view. I'd like to see a dorsal shot if possible. The other contender is A. gemmoides.

Range
Thanks Lynette. Illaudatus/pima are not included in Adams - Spiders of California, 2014. So maybe gemmoides. I'll see if it is still present and presenting a dorsal view.
Looks very similar to the images of gemmoides on Wikipedia.

Was able to go back and add a dorsal view

Sorry it took me so long to respond
Orange county is in this the range for illaudatus. It's listed as having a range from San Diego Co. to Mono Co. in CA. Check out this site.
