Do you mean....

Don't you mean Scudderia furcata? That is what this specimen is, at any rate (male), obvious from the excellent shot of the subgenital plate....I STAND CORRECTED! I had never even heard of this species until now. Apologies. I just looked it up on the "Singing Insects of North America" website.

The images I got do look fair

The images I got to look fairly different from the S. furcata shots in Bugguide. They lack the black edging to the wings and the pink abdomen.

In Lang Elliot's "Songs of Insects", he points to the pink abdomen and black edging to the wings. Look Here . I did find a complete lack of information elsewhere regarding this katydid though.
