Found this spider on my back deck wall. Very chrome looking metallic body. Even though it was late and overcast it stood out so bright !

I live in east Tn, near Seymour and Maryville facing the Chillhoweii Mnts near Sevierville. This spider was on my back deck and surprised me with it’s Shiny silver Metallic body. No sun on it to bring out it’s chrome like color. A orb weaver family I believe they said.
