Is this from Subfamily Oedipodinae? Any way to determine species?

after staring at it for a while
I'm going to go with Carolina Grasshopper. The coloring and large broad head seem to fit better with that species. The two both have similar black hind legs when first hatched.
I think I may have I.D.'d a couple of others this age wrongly as well. I think that
T. verruculata
(?always?) has mostly white hind tarsi with just the tip black, while
D. carolina
has it banded black as in this one.

Trimerotropini

I think something in genus Trimerotropis or in Spharagemon
I suspect probably
T. verruculata
.
What was the habitat like?
