What kind of cricket is this? I can't find anything similar to it on bugguide or in Stephen Marshall's Insects book. Thanks for any ideas!

reminds us of the katydids
in the genus Atlanticus. Look here and see what you think.

Looks like a good match.
I usually think of katydids as being green and more laterally compressed, so I just assumed it was a cricket. Thanks!
