Tibicen walkeri or Tibicen pronotalis
The bright green pronotum does not support Tibicen dorsatus; perhaps an unusual variant (?).

However, the bright lime-green does suggest Tibicen walkeri (T. pronotalis) and to a lesser extent Tibicen resh. Additional photos of a more lateral & dorsal aspect are needed for a more accurate id.

Tibicen dorsatus
The white border on the thorax and the fairly large size indicates this species. The specimen is a female.
