Moved from ID Request. This is an orbweaver of some kind. It's probably a juvenile, but I'd like to see a ventral view if possible.

Thanks for the prompt reply! Sorry but I don't have a ventral view. The spider was resting on a metal striker plate, and its ventral surface was obscured. When we take photos, we try our best to avoid disturbing the subject, so we didn't move him/her.
