This cicada was collected at an elevation of 7982 ft. It has distinctive orange on its body. I am hoping that someone out there will be able to lend an ID hand.

Okanagana
Probably O. bella, but similar to various other described species such as O. annulata Davis and O. gibbera Davis (which may be synonyms).

 
Thanks again
What a fun species to see in the wild. These were on low brush singing loudly in the warm afternoon sun.

 
singing loudly
Can you describe the song? This might help in identifying the species.

Okanagana sp?
I'm looking forward to Jeff's opinion. Meanwhile, I'm venturing this is a species of Okanagana:-)
