Tibicen canicularis
33 mm = slightly > 1 inch (Too Small for T. auletes)

Tibicen auletes is our largest cicada!
It has light tannish-grayish eyes (striking eyes) and when teneral is typically "mint-green" (on rare occasions red - very scarce color form).

Tibicen canicularis is a highly variable species in color and pattern. It is also one of the most common Tibicen species in the Northeast.

... if your measurement does not include the wings, and is a little on the shy side.

Measurement
doesn't include the wings, but I think that it is fairly close. I have an image of it near a ruler.
