I saw this cricket nymph in a a wetlands area. I have seen field crickets in another part of the same wetlands. Any idea on this nymph? Thanks.

Moved
Moved from ID Request. While not 100% certain without seeing the antennal markings or knowing the pulse rate of a singing male - I'm moving this to Prairie tree cricket based on: location and pattern of markings on abdomen, pale legs, pale antennae without black dashes, on ground vegetation rather than in tree. This appears to me to be a 3rd stage female.
