I’m thinking spotted orb weaver, Neoscona genus.

Eriophora ravilla https://bugguide.net/node/view/634689/bgimage They both have hairy tan legs distally, but E. ravilla sometimes has the white dot patterns on the abdomen and some yellow bordering hairs, like on the legs of this gorgeous specimen. This is a species I was happy to see in-person, once.
