True Stuart! Thanks for this point. Looking at the shape (Micky Mouse ear protrusion), the color makings, both on body and legs let me still think of Argentata. But I would agree to call it also Argiope cf. argentata. What do you think?

Careful here also with option of A.blanda, can be dorsally very similar.
