Melanoplus femurrubrum
The pattern is fairly typical for this species. This one is 3rd instar. You can see veins in the wing lobes, but they still point down (on the upper side, above the middle leg).

Nymph of a Melanoplus sp. Impossible to ID most all Melanoplus (even adults) from an image alone.
