The spots on the abdomen plus the banded legs suggest a black and yellow garden spider. They are very common. Also, I have seen more than a few istances where the colors of Argiope species, including the banded garden spider, change or fade. https://greennature.com/spider-pictures/

It looks like he's missing a front leg. I'd recommend putting in an ID Request at bugguide. [https://bugguide.net/node/view/6/bgimage]
