Safe to say Cherry Lace Bug?

Corythucha pruni or associata?
There are two species of lace bugs in the Eastern US that feed on black cherry and sometimes other Prunus sp. They can be easily separated by the height and shape of the hood when seen from the side, or lateral view. Please see nodes #495351-52.
If you can get back to that same cherry tree, you'll probably find them again this year about the same time; then you can take a lateral view picture of the hood and compare with those BugGuide images and figure out the species.
As for the common name, Corythucha pruni is the Cherry Lace Bug, I don't know if the other species has a common name, but we may as well call them the same. However, it's important to point out that there are two separate species in the Eastern US and at least another two species of Prunus sp. or cherry feeders in the Western US, making things a little more challenging.

Thank you for the information
I found this different specimen (possibly laid eggs) 2 days later on same tree.
Not a lateral view, but you can guess a size of head from this angle. Maybe same species?

Corythucha associata
I can see now enough of the shape and size of the hood to determine the species, thank you. If you found it on the same tree, chances are that your previous photos are the same species.
As I discussed before, I don't know of a common name for it. Corythucha pruni is the Cherry Lace Bug, and would prefer not to call C. associata with the same common name "officially" just to avoid people thinking there's only one species, when there's several species that feed on cherry and related plants.
