No, not a T. pruinosus
Colors are off...The costal margin is too bowed and the ventral stripe is too dark. My initial thoughts are that this is closer to a T. linnei---maybe a hybrid.

Cheers

 
agree 100%
linnei complex female
But, what do the males sound like in that area...???

I know the morphology and calls do not always agree with taxon diagnostics.

 
Thanks!
The males in northern IL sound like the 2 T. pruinosa youtube videos. But I don't know what T. linnei sounds like, or whether these co-exist here.

OK
THAT sounds like our cicadas, so most are probably T. linnei. Thanks again!
