Moved upon agreement
Moved from Araneus.

Moved to genus for now
Moved from ID Request. I was leaning A. marmoreus.

identification
I do thing this guy is likely A. nordmanni. Levi's review mentions that the 2nd tibiae is "bent" and bears strong setae (both of these features are visible in the photos). He also mentions that the males of this species are not strongly humped (a feature of the females).
