Very interesting…I think this is an unusual and very striking variant of the shaded orb weaver …Metellina merianae (var celata) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/164257960
Definitely looks it just a more detailed colour on the stripe but legs are definitely strong resemblance thank you
It’s a new species for our website’s submissions collection. 🙂 I cropped the photo for visibility because it is our reference photo.
