Tibicen sp.
one of the annual species
greenish ees (w/ tan ???)
reddish-brown coloration to the center of the mesonotum
greenish tint to legs
looks like the base of the wing pad might be dark
these characters are suggestive of Tibicen tibicen (chloromerus), but it looks a bit off for that species (might be due to the lighting and wet dirt??).
Did you get any other images?

Tibicen sp.
I almost wanted to say possibly T. linnei in the earlier comment....it's the eyes (that brownish hue) and the lack of bright bluish-greens (dark duller greens). Generally the final stage nymphs of linnei and tibicen/chloromerus are easily differentiated, esp. when in hand, but there are some images and angles that are often difficult to interpret. Typically, linnei nymphs are a duller green than are those of T. tibicen, the pinkish coloration is lighter and the eyes dark; however, I have seen a few linnei locally that were similar to the nymph in this image. shortly after emerging, the eyes of the adult darken to near black.
Note the coloration of the eyes, + pinks and greens of the body
(The browns of the nymph exoskeleton make the color of the teneral within look darker.)
I can't quite tell if the base of the wing pad is pigmented or just dark due to the angle of the pic (??).
I can't comfortably make a species id based on these images alone, but I suspect it's linnei.
