Photo of help identifying Araneus species?

or maybe a Metapeira sp, or Larinioides sp., ... cornutus?

her abdomen is quite shriveled, so her colouration is much deeper, and darker,
than it was a couple few weeks ago, when it was a big and full tummy.

been looking, but i haven't found a photo to match her markings
closest i've found, so far, is Araneus marmoreus
lots of variation in the abdomens, but the eye arrangement and carapace look the closest to mine
