Thanks Carol ! After some research based on your suggestion I found this: http://tolweb.org/Leucaugines/134640 wich indicates it´s really a venusta. Thank you.

This is very similar to shape and color to the Orchard Orb Weaver Spider whose range is Southern Canada to Panama. Definitely related. (Leucauge venusta). Good luck with the exact ID!
