Is Scudderia Nymphs a synonym of Scudderia furcata?

 
this is a younger nymph
which all basically look the same in this genus. It may well be S. furcata - but in your area it could easily be S. curvicauda, S. pistillata, S. septentrionalis, S. texensis, or S. fasciata too. Can't really be sure unless you rear them up - the adult males have unique calling songs as well as distinctive supra-anal plates, and adult females can usually be identified by their ovipositor shape and color.
