instars
It is the last two instars that have the wing pads turned up like this one. Usually that is the fourth and fifth. This one looks like a 4th instar. A guess at identity would be a species of Circotettix, but I'm not certain. It could be a Trimerotropis as well.

Third Instar At Least, I'd Say...
...just judging from the appearance of the wing buds and the size you listed...something about half-grown... This looks like a little bandwinged nymph to me.
