Orb Weaer
Araneus marmoreus var. pyramidatus. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araneus_marmoreus
She looks like a Marbled Orbweaver with a variant marking. This variant is tan in North America and yellow in other parts of the world. It is shown in the Wikipedia link. @greenvilleeee note the leg bands are red to black and white. The Araneus { } bract markings are around the dark patch. I haven’t seen the variant in this color before, she’s great. 🙂
Thanks for the info. I found this picture on a UK site which also confirms what you say.
