Maybe Orphulella pelidna? - Orphulella pelidna - Male
Pinellas County, Florida, USA
July 4, 2014
Didn't have any pix from above. Based on wing length, pattern, and color tone of what I can see, I thought it fit both Orphulella pelidna and Melanoplus propinquus. I can't tell if it has a spur throat.

Head is the wrong shape for Melanoplus, compare

In the Florida grasshopper book
the head of Melanoplus propinquus appears more slant-faced. It is more obvious from Bugguide's photos that it cannot be that.
