Tibicen tibicen (chloromerus), Swamp Cicada (FEMALE)
looks to be quasi-teneral, hence the pinkish coloration

Thanks :)
Thank you for the ID, Bill!
"quasi-teneral"... No wonder I couldn't find exact match...!

T. tibicen specimens from the mid-Atlantic
Many T. tibicen from this region (NY, NJ, PA, & MD) often retain colorful patterns on the mesonotum, incl. deep reds and bright greens!

I would be inclined to think this individual likely retained nice pattern & coloration even after she was fully sclerotized. The pinks usually fade to black and deep rusts while the greens would deepen to a nice leaf-green.
