We would think this is more likely
Araneus cingulatus

Another
possibility is Araneus nashoba - four pairs of red spots, and other similarities.

See Levi, 1973 - Small Orb-Weavers of the Genus Araneus North of
Mexico (Araneae: Araneidae)

Came across that while trying to figure out the recent male from St. Johns.
