Aphrophora
A different subgenus (Plesiommata) than the pine spittlebug; probably one of the A. permutata species-group, whose adults are also associated with pines although the immatures live on understory plants.

Thank you -
Dr. Hamilton! Will move to genus page for now. We don't have a Plesiommata subgenus page yet...
