Stenocranus acutus
There are 3 species that look alike, but this one has the longest head and the shortest hind tarsus ("foot"). A pity that none of the photos is really in sharp focus.

I agree. I will keep looking
I agree. I will keep looking to find another & take better shots. I did take video. Is there anything I should look at to help identify between the three? It has the most unusual antennae I have seen. Large and then ending with hairlike size at the ends. Very good at walking fast right, left and backwards hence partly responsible lol for the poor photos. The hindleg foot looks large for hoppers and reminded me of bird foot!
