This is a fascinating individual...
The round mark on the scape (1st antennal segment) puts this ibn the rileyi species group. British Columbia could have either Riley's or Snowy. We would need to see the size and location of the black dot on the second antennal segment to tell which species this is.

There are three things of interest here: 1) I have never seen the scape pointing directly backwards. 2) One pedicel appears to be twice the size of the other. 3) The entire head is usually whitish or cream....not this tannish color.

The head color would make one think of Western tree cricket, but there antennal markings are linear, not round. That patch of yellow on the top of the head should be orange.

Fascinating.
