I posted a comment on this one too. But, it's not here. Anyway, no it's not Cibolacris, it is a Trimerotropis. I believe it is probably T. albescens, but am not certain. It might also be T. inconspicua. Do you have a photo of it taken from above? The pronotum of T. albescens flares out at the rear lower angle on both sides, but not so on T. inconspicua (see photos of T. whitei, which is flared similarly to, but more than in T. albescens).

T. bifasciata looks similar, but I think it is too far east for that species (?), and that one is usually proportionately a bit shorter, stockier, with a bigger head and lower crest on the pronotum.

If you look closely at the shape of the pronotum in particular, you can see that it is quite different from Cibolacris. Also (if you have a hand lense handy), there is a row of teeth (a stridulatory apparatus) on the inside of the hind femur of Cibolacris (at least on the males), and there is one on the intercalary vein (a lengthwise vein roughly in the middle of the basal half of the tegmina) instead on Trimerotropis. That different sound making apparatus is why (at least at the moment) the two genera are put in different subfamilies, even though Cibolacris "looks" more like a Bandwing Hopper.
