Comments & ID Thoughts
Does any1 know what type of friend this truly is? Was thinking a type of Orb Weaver, but thought the colors/markings, were inconsistent with some other photos. What do y'all think? Was found in doorway of back hallway, 2ft from a window/light source & maybe 11ft from basement stairwell; in case that helps. Thanks in advance

This is indeed an orb weaver. It is a male Nd they can look quite different to their male counterparts…which is why you are having difficulty finding a picture match. If it is quite small…it could be this one larinioides cornutus perhaps … not at all sure though…

Sorry I meant to say males can look quite different to their female counterparts
