I am posting these images hoping someone might have seen a similar spider.
It had a body length of about 8 mm.

This is an orb-weaving spider (family Araneidae); the shape of the marking on its abdomen is like that seen on some Eriophora spp., but I have not seen any of those that are identical to your specimen...

Thank you very much for letting me know - I was getting quite frustrated in my inability to identify it...
