Very nice spotting! Welcome to NJ Flora/Fauna!
Nice spotting! Do you happen to have a shot of the underside? The northern and southern black widows have a range that overlaps in New Jersey, if you can believe that. The only way to narrow down the ID would be to see the red hourglass shape on the underside of the abdomen.
