Spider Identification

[Spota]

Anyone know what kind of spider this is? Legs and all, the spider was about the size of a silver dollar. It was outside my bedroom window (2nd story). I used a 100-300 lens zoomed in all the way using the macro setting and manual focus so it's a tad blurry. (My picture taking skills have some room for improvement.)

This?

Actually, it is is a pretty crisp shot, you just need to shoot at a higher f-stop, so that your DOF isn't so narrow, and all the spider is in focus.

I was unsure if you were right because i couldn't find a picture of an orb weaver that had that pattern on the underside of its thorax. Then wiki educated me:

"The family is a large one, including over 2800 species in over 160 genera worldwide"

So yah, it is an orb weaver but which is it?

Until further notice, this is my favorite post.

I'll assume you are a US poster, and in the US we have two kinds of poisonous spiders, neither of which is this spider (BW and BR spiders). If you are in europe, i have no opinion.

Did you get bit?
