Ceresa palmeri
The brown edges to the pronotum (the raised triangular area between the wings) is indicative of this species. Other related species, like C. tauriniformis, have the entire triangular area brownish.

tree hopper?
this appears to be a tree hopper adult of some sort.
someone else will have to be more exact.
The picture is great by the way. The only thing I would do is crop it more.

Perhaps a Buffalo treehopper
There's a guide page here. Andy is the resident hopper expert, he'll know exactly what it is...
