OrangeWinged Grasshopper - Pardalophora phoenicoptera
Yep, that's a grown up boy, definitely of this species. The pattern down in your part of the world is a bit different than usual. Very pretty! It somewhat resembles P. apiculata, but that species does not occur in the South. The girl nymph from the same place probably grew up to look quite a lot like this fellow, but I'm guessing a lighter color.
