Tibicen pruinosus (MALE)
The white slash/mark visible on the side posterior to the tymbal cover is diagnostic of T. pruinosus. Note the paired white spots on top at the base of the abdomen then follow down the body and take notice of the white ")" shaped mark visible behind the wings!

T. linnei is typically more richly colored, has a stronger development of black delineating the pattern on those I have seen, and lacks the development of the white tymbal mark seen here (at least to this degree)!
