Juvenile Mantid - Stagmomantis californica - Male

Male and not female?
I can see 7 segments and maybe another so this seems to be a male.

Re: Juvenile Mantid
This one must be Stagmomantis californica based on posture and mottled coloration. Nice find! They seem to be less common than the non-native mantids, at least that is the case up here.

 
....
How is the posture different from other mantids? :)

I love this shot!
Sorry, I can't help with the ID, though.
