Grasshopper - Melanoplus

Grasshopper - Melanoplus
Hitchcock Nature Area, Crescent, Pottawattamie County, Iowa, USA
August 22, 2012
Size: approx. 25 mm
We think this may be a Red-legged Grasshopper (Melanoplus femurrubrum). Any help with ID appreciated.

Thanks,
Loren and Babs Padelford
Bellevue, NE

female Melanoplus for sure,
Could be M. femurrubrum, but could be another (M. sanguinipes seems more likely to me).
