Moved
Moved from Orb Weavers. Looks to be a very lightly marked oaxacensis, most of the usual pattern is missing leaving just those small white "=" marks with black centers.

We would suggest
Neoscona oaxacensis, in the guide here. Do you have the ability to crop your images? It would help others view your image. Only you can see the image at the full 1600 you posted. Everyone else only gets the 560 view. It is best to crop the image so the spider fills the frame.

Cropped!
I cropped the image. I hope the spider is more defined in this photo. Thank you so much.!

Interesting! Was this a different image?
It seemed the spider ID was clearer in the original - isn't that strange!
