Most likely Melanoliarus sp., but hard to be sure without dorsal shot.

Robert:

Thanks for your advice.
I do not have a dorsal view. (That guy flew away at the instant of a flash.) I am attaching the only other view that I have.

A planthopper!

Ken:

I appreciate that you submitted it for further evaluation.

P.S.
By the way, it may be true that "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away," unless it is the reality of accidents. More about that in "On Physics and Philosophy" by Bernard d'Espagnat.
