This is a very good picture! If I had to guess, this is a sort of Orb Weaver species. They’re very unique and beautiful spiders
After doing some digging, this is most likely a (Barn Orb Weaver Spider), I hope this helped 🙂
Hi Trae Beaver. Welcome to spiderid. We are all volunteers here and appreciate the help. I thought this was a barn spider too at first. It really does look like it but they are not found in Arizona. I am not sure what this is but my guess would be a cat faced spider Araneus illaudatus…its not very typical…they usually have pointed shoulders like this one….note the 4 spots on the abdomen…

This one is rounder…https://bugguide.net/node/view/1321883
It’s just a guess though
I’m not really sure what this spiders species might be then, it’s so intriguing
I am so sorry. When you said barn spider I thought u meant what I call a barn spider…Araneus cavaticus…I only found out today that Neoscona crucifera is also called a barn spider….that is definitely present in Arizona and is a definite possibility …so you were probably right all along

That’s okay buddy, I just hope it gets identified and put on the list of successful identifications 🙂
