Male Argiope?

(Zone 5a)

We have the Banded (Argiope trifasciata) and the Black and Yellow (Argiope aurantia) females, but rarely come across any males. I am wondering if this one if them?? Looking at a few pictures, I am not finding one that looks like this.

Sorry about the fly in the way. I have another photo where it isn't front and center, but the abdomen is over-exposed.

Thank you for your help.

Quite possibly - go to http://www.cirrusimage.com/spider_argiope_trifasciata.htm and look at the last image...
