Mischievous Bird Grasshopper? Front View - Schistocerca damnifica
Hernando, Citrus County, Florida, USA
May 17, 2007
Size: approx. 40-45mm
Photographed shortly after 4 PM outside our local art center. I believe the size makes this one a female (provided I've gotten the species correct).

Yes.
Your ID is correct. Note stripe down back, and the striped eyes.
