Linne's Cicada? - Neotibicen linnei
Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia, USA
September 1, 2008
This one came to a porch light while I was taking pictures of moths. I thought it might also be a silver-bellied cicada, but I know very little about cicadas, so I don't trust my identification.

Tibicen linnei FEMALE (I think you'r 1st/gut feeling was right!)
Go with your gut!

This cicada is not T. davisi! In fact, I do not know of T. davisi records from your region. Typically, T. davisi is a cicada of the Coastal Plain and Fall-line hills (rare in higher elevations).

Females of T. pruinosus west of the Appalchians usually have well developed pruinose spots at the base of the abdomen - this one DOES NOT!...therefore, I agree, you are probably right on with T. linnei!

Tibicen davisi
A smaller southeastern cicada with a very broad head, the eyes standing out well from the sides of the thorax.
