@Apple its not kind of Hybrid.. If you check images of this Female spider on web it has little different colours in various areas. Its body structure is remain same.

Yes, I agree with appensa, it's just that catenulata feet coloring looks closer....could it be a hybrid?

My suggestion would be either Argiope appensa or Argiope catenulata (not really right area for that but leg coloring matches better)

I agree, it is likely some form of argiope.
