Juvenile Theridiidae, Heesch, Netherlands
According to the dutch spiders FB group, this is a juvenile Tangle-web spider. Some 80 species are known to occur in the Netherlands. This family of spiders in Dutch is named after their spherical abdomen (kogelspin = bullet spider) and in English after their web construction. They built messy 3D webs that seem to lack any organization.
I don't know the exact species yet. Enoplognatha ovata is a candidate, it is known to be variable in color for both the thorax/head and abdomen, and this particular color combination exists.
Paidiscura pallens looks somewhat similar and matches my idea of size, being only a few mm long. Yet not convinced of it matching in color.
