Syrbula admirabilis is similar, but much larger,
is an adult in summer and autumn, and is not found in the mountains in Colorado (the closest I have seen one is in a grassy vacant lot in Pueblo).
S. montezuma
is in Teller County I think, but lower down in the Pinyon-Juniper country mostly in rocky areas. The markings on the front wings of
Syrbula
are a bit different, and they are also more slender with longer thinner legs.
Eritettix simplex
is common in grassy areas in spring, and that's what you've got here.
