Hi Trevor. There are several species of Atrapsalta that look visually similar in this area. Did you record and/or hear the call?
Cheers,Lindsay

Yes, I'm not sure how to describe it. Not very loud as cicadas go.

Thanks Trevor. Here is a link to a page with a song recording of Atrapsalta furcilla: https://dr-pop.net/furcilla-418.htm

Do you think you could match it to the song recording of this species (or one of the two “similar species”)?

I listened to the recording, its sounds like what I was hearing from this cicada.
