Araneus, but which one?
Check saevus and nordmanni while you wait to hear from Lynette We'll check deeper too if we get the chance

saevus or nordmanni
I'm leaning toward Araneus nordmanni mostly based on coloring.

Do you think it's safe to move to species level?
Thanks for your help!

non-crossed cross spider
In my experience A. diademtatus does not have red femurs. They are almost always orange or brown. Otherwise they do look very similar.
