Tibicen canicularis
With few species in this Genus occurring in your immediate area, it is most likely T. canicularis. This is, in most parts of the North, the most abundant cicada in the Genus Tibicen. It is highly variable and you should not rely on Color or Pattern alone. Gerry Bunker in New England, is very familiar with this species and may better be able to give you diagnostic features for easy recognition.

Tibicen
A female, probably T. canicularis, but the critical distinguishing feature for females of this genus is the head width.

Agreed
Definately looks like T. canicularis with that black band on the abdomen. Question is, is T. davisi in Wisconsin?

Wing length, body length & overall length
Can you estimate the wing length, body length and overall length in millimeters? This is looking more and more like linnei given your new images.
