The closest thing i could find on BugGuide.net was a barn spider (Araneus cavaticus)... Do you have a better view of the dorsal?

There is an image thumbnail to a larger photo that my friend took of the same spider. Click the pic to see the full sized photo.

Yeah, DDD hasn't been around in a while it seems.
