Broad-tipped Conehead, or possibly Marsh Conehead...
Few Coneheads are listed as calling in Oct. One of the few that does is the Marsh Conehead, however, the Broad-tipped Conehead is the only sp. to overwinter as an adult...

See BTC link for discussion of two color forms.

Broad-tipped Conehead?
That appears to be a good match. Thanks!

Is there a reason why some individuals are brown and some are green?

Good Question,
I don't think I've ever read anything on the reason why they are brown/green. I would imagine that the diversity in color may help with survival. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the sex of the insect.

Broad-tipped Conehead
Seems good to me. Amazing how abiding and common this species is in the south. Most northern species of Conehead, I have found are extremely secretive and not terribly common.
