I think cixiid planthopper is correct. I came across the genus Oecleus, with some pictures looking like they might be a match for genus... Thanks, bayucca!
Should be a Cixiidae, at least it looks for me like a Cixiid Planthopper. Not Bothriocerinae, might be Cixiinae, but not really sure. We need an expert for this one...
