The long thin legs ...
make me wonder if this is Araneus cavaticus which would be a nice find but I can't be sure from just this picture. Please submit a dorsal or two if you get the chance.

Brown spider
Thanks for your help! I've posted another ID Request under the Title "Brown spider 2". This shows a couple other angles of another individual of the same type of spider. Unfortunately, I didn't get a shot of the top view of this particular spider. I hope these shots help with the ID. Thanks again.
