Tibicen pruinosus
The white slash/mark visible on the side posterior to the tymbal cover is diagnostic of T. pruinosus. Note the paired white spots on top then NOTE the white ")" - shaped or white comma-shaped mark!

T. linnei is typically more richly colored and lacks the development of the white tymbal mark seen here!

T. linnei also has a a well defined glossy BLACK ventral stripe that is unbroken and bold.
