David's comment from the first image:
Chortophaga viridifasciata
Yes this is the species. They vary in color. You've managed to get a brown male (first shot), a brown female (second shot), green males (third and fourth shots - rather rare). This is the third shot, the green male.

Chortophaga
All images are of Chortophaga viridifasciata. Green ones are females, brown ones probably males. One of the most common spring grasshoppers in eastern North America.
