Looks like female Aptenopedes
As I said in comments on your other photo:

it does look like female Linearwinged Grasshopper, Aptenopedes sphenarioides, as you mentioned. Capinera, Grasshoppers of Florida (1)--you quoted the on-line version, says that this resembles Hesperotettix osceola, but the latter has short wings while Aptenopedes has no wings at all. That looks correct, based on your photo--I see no wings whatsoever.

That's all for what my opinion's worth--I am just looking at the field guide and have no experience with the insects. (That guide is worth getting if you don't have it--photos are really good.)
