Leafhopper ID - Doratura stylata

Leafhopper ID - Doratura stylata
Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
July 6, 2008
Had a hard time getting a shot of this and there aren't a lot of distinguishing features; looking for help with an ID on it.

Moved from ID Request.

Nice shot!

Doratura stylata
Actually, the 3 spots on the head is very distinctive - other leafhoppers have 2, 4, 6 or more. You have captured the metallic sheen on the wings nicely in this shot.

I have a tendency to focus in more on color for ID and sometimes don't notice specific markings like you pointed out. Thanks for the help.
