Would appreciate confirmation before adding to guide. Have never seen one before, and altho Eric's book says this sp. widespread in the east, few pics on file here. Thanks, Sandy S

Would appear so.
Thank you for the free plug, too:-) The lack of spotting or banding on the forewings (tegmena) is telling. So is the uninterrupted pronotal crest (top of the thorax). The robust appearance also suggests a female. Nice shot!
