agreed
There isn't anything else it can be. The head looks unusually large (perhaps partly due to angle and pose), but all the other characteristics are typical of D. viridis.

Short-winged green grasshopper?
I'm thinking a brown female of Dichromorpha viridis, but I'm not positive. Great image should allow David Ferguson to confirm or refute.

Thanks Eric. They are tough to get out in the open for clean shots.
I'll wait to see if David confirms before moving.
