Chortophaga? Link...
Check out this page:
Chortophaga viridifasciata, Green-striped grasshopper
Looks close to that species, same genus?. Your photo is of a nymph.

Doubtful.
This looks much more like a yellow phase of the differential grasshopper, Melanoplus differentialis. It IS a nymph, of course. Moving to guide page.
