Am assuming this is one of the orb weavers but which one?

This was photographed in Mission (Hidalgo County) Texas.

This may be the tropical orb weaver, Eriophora ravilla - see http://flickr.com/photos/15269247@N00/1708855217/

Thanks ya'll...narrowing it down to the Eirophora helps. Looks like the ravilla as well as the transmarina - guess I'll stick to ravilla as it seems to be found more often in Texas. :o)
