Spider with a mask on its back ID, SW Turkey. (1 Viewer)

I's have thought a spider with such a stunning pattern as this would have been reasonably easy to identify from googling, but I'm struggling.

Can anyone help?

It's a Larinioides. If it was in the UK I'd say it was almost certainly L. cornutus but they may have other species in Turkey.
