Found perched in a sapling along a small creek. Unfortunately this was the only shot I got before it flew away.

Thanks! Let me know if this would be better placed at genus level (if there's any doubt).

Tibicen tibicen (=T. chloromera)
This looks to be a female T. tibicen. Generally this species has bright green legs and a predominantly white venter (as does the cicada in your image. Most other members of this genus occurring here in the Southeast have at least some dark (pigmented) shading along the ventral midline of the abdomen.
