If you're unable to find the same spider, you may want to enter this as Orb Weaver Spider - Metepeira sp. It's also a female.

Thanks Cindy! I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow.

This is difficult to ID. We have a few red-striped orb weavers down here but we'd need to see the underside and topside of abdomen. I'd just enter it as Orbweaver Spider.
