Changing to Cixiid and will keep looking to narrow it to a tribe
Thank you bayucca. I will id it as Fulgoroidea/Planthopper and look for a reference to point to Cixiid. Its three times the size of the ones on the Chew Bros. site and has a narrow face also
Fulgoroidea/Planthopper, looks like Cixiidae.
