Thank you!
Thank you for posting your pic's to bugguide!
All additionas are helpful.

In your area, you likely have only linnei, as winnemanna is less common -if present- in Jersey. IT. winnemanna does occur in se. PA and there are some isolated records extending into se. NY.

Among the taxa frequently confused, you may encounter lyricen, tibicen (chloromerus), linnei, latifasciatus (in se. coastal Jersey), and canicularis.

 
I posted another one
from 2021 (https://bugguide.net/node/view/2022771). Still only 1 other BugGuide record from NJ, & that's from the south tip. And yet it seems to be common in my neighborhood. Are these populations really local, or just undersampled?
