TIbicen resh (MALE)
I feel confident that this a Tibicen resh.
Refer to these Bugguide images:

MY experience with T. resh places it in most of eastern Texas, westward into the e. TX Plains, northward into the counties of s. Oklahoma & back east into Louisiana (usu. where there are many oaks, Quercus spp.) - As you travel east, populations of T. resh seem to angle sharply south towards the Gulf. The eastern most populations I have seen were in the higher ground of the New Orleans area and do not seem to cross the Mississippi River. Perhaps intensive surveys around the LA-MS border may prove a more eastern extension.

....
You say "
northward into the counties of s. Oklahoma
". But Osage County is in northern Oklahoma.

Tibicen resh
NICE FIND!!!!!
I do not doubt T. resh to occur where you are in n. OK. We must consider the known/published ranges of any insect (animal or plant) to be based on the sole knowledge, hopefully the collective knowledge, of the person or scientific community at the time....exact ranges are not necessarily ever fully known.
I try to be cautious in absolutes with regards to range - Hence I referenced/said, "MY experience with T. resh places it in......" ;)

looks like Tibicen sp.
Maybe T. lyricen? - they occur in Oklahoma, and are out in early July:
A 1" long green and brown cicada with a green W on the thorax is likely to be a Tibicen sp. There are some similar Diceroprocta sp. too, but they tend to be over 1" and have strongly contrasting color bands.
Getting down to species ID in either genus is often a job for the experts!

Can't help with the ID,
I was just wondering if you were having a bumper crop of cicadas up that way as we are here in the Dallas area. It's almost deafening when you walk outside!
