ID confirmed by Vinton Thompson
"It appears to be a color variation of Aphrophora saratogensis - the morphology and the habitat match. If you come across a whole population of such individuals it would be worth investigating a little further, but it is probably an instance of individual variation."

Moved from Aphrophora.
