Acrididae.
Beyond family, really difficult to say. There is no key to nymphs, as far as I know.

Some similar unidentified ones in the guide
at and etc. Others very similar ID'd as Chortophaga viridifasciata, in the guide here. Unfortunately we're hopeless on grasshoppers, but maybe someone can confirm your ID.

 
Thanks J & J
My search ended the same place. Some of the images seemed to differ greatly however. Anyhow, I knew it was a long shot - but hoppers seem to be adverse to sitting for portraits and this one was an exception.
