Tibicen sp. - Neotibicen lyricen

Tibicen sp. - Neotibicen lyricen
Valdosta, Lowndes County, Georgia, USA
June 19, 2013
Three photos will represent this organism. Definitely a Tibicen cicada, I assume, but which species? My assumption is T. linnei, but I don't know enough to be sure. I do know it was smaller than the T. auletes tenerals I've been seeing, and I also know that the abdomen and other colors were significantly different. I could kick myself for not getting a measurement shot (I was ultimately distracted by another cicada beginning ecdysis), but I believe the body was about 1.5 inches or so. I know that's not very useful or reliable, but thought it would be worth noting. Oaks are common in my neighborhood, but was also have a good number of pines. Any help --even if it's just to two or three likely candidates-- would be greatly appreciated!
