True Katydid male? - Paracyrtophyllus robustus

True Katydid male? - Paracyrtophyllus robustus
Dripping Springs, Hays County, Texas, USA
June 9, 2006
Size: 1 1/2"
I took this while listening to the insect making it's mating sound. I believe it's a male True Katydid, but would like confirmation. I took similar shots last night, after hearing the same sounds, but not While hearing them, of an insect that looks similar, but different wing shape and what appears to be different sexual organs. I'll post both of them, and hope someone can tell me if they are male and female of the same insect.
