What kind of cicada?
Bandelier National Monument, Sandoval County, New Mexico, USA
May 1, 2012
On new growing oak in an area that was heavily burned last summer. Also wondering what the green goo on the bug might be?

other images?
Your cicada belongs to the sub-Family Tettigadinae (Okanagana or Platypedia groups). I suspect Platypedia but am not sure.
Tettigadinae
Hard to tell from this pic (+ tenerals are a bit more difficult without familiarity or a series of images from different angles).
The "green goo" is hemolymph or "Bug Blood".
Sometimes when these guys are emerging and teneral, they are easily injured (perhaps by a fall or vegetation in the way of wing development) and the body fluids leak out = "green goo". Of the many insects I have observed and with which I have worked, this scenario of injury is not uncommon among cicadas. Unfortunately, for many it is eventually fatal (esp. when the adult is rendered flightless due to wing deformation or excessive injuries to the body or legs).
Hope that helps.
