Moved tentatively
Moved from Spotted Orbweavers. This is our best guess based on pattern and what we can see of the scape. However, the coloring is a little light for this species and the spiders in this genus can cross breed.

We were going to suggest
arabesca

Yes it's a tough one for me
I keep seeing how straight those black dorsal spots are and wondering why they aren't more slanted, but other than that it does looks like N. arabesca.

Moved
Moved from ID Request. Thanks for the ventral... pretty much clinches the genus. Let's see what the Balabans think on species.

Neoscona species
I'm pretty sure it's one of the Neoscona species. Don't forget ventrals are pretty handy for IDing the orbweavers.
