Neither.
Looks like it is in an orb web, which rules out Theridion (a cobweb weaver); if it was Cyclosa, it would have a "trash line" running down the middle of its web. So, it is an orb weaver of some other kind.

That
could be because it was an adult male. You know what they say about going with your first guess.. Anyway, I agree with your original though of Cyclosa, probably turbinata. Males do have rounded abdomens.
Do you agree with placement?
