Thanks bayucca. Still not very sure. Maybe need to take another trip to the site to get more pictures.

It is certainly a Nephila sp., but I had difficulties to find nice matches. I guess it is a younger female Nephila pilipes, without the typical blacl legs with the yellow markings at the junctions. What do you think? http://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=1627 http://potokito-myshot.blogspot.ch/2012/02/golden-orb-web-spider-nephila-pilipes.html https://www.flickr.com/photos/spiderman/1388606637/
