Eustala anastera
While Larinioides do have the scalloped pattern on the abdomen, the shape of the abdomen and the way the pattern just sort of disperses at the anterior portion of the abdomen are typical of Eustala anastera. Like many of the orb weavers this spider is variable in color and there are several versions of the anterior abdominal pattern.
