I think it could be an Araneus diadematus female whose abdomen has shrunk after laying eggs. …. so long as the egg sac she is with isn’t hers… .they have hatched way too early to be A. diadematus young. …and they don’t resemble them….if they are hers I could be wrong about the id. She is at an awkward angle to see her makings
