the cropped one does help
While this is still a tiny bit tentative, since we can't see the markings on the underside of the cone, I'm pretty sure now that this is
N. retusus
.

Katydids

Do you have any photos from other angles
This could be
Neoconocephalus bivocatus, N. ensiger, N. palustris, N. retusus, N. robustus
, or perhaps
N. triops
. I can't rule any of these out.
However, I doubt it is
N. ensiger
, because the wings seem proportionately too short.
N. triops
is probably not normally found so far north, and it doesn't really "look" like
N. robustus
or
N. bivocatus
to me. It does look a lot like
N. retusus
, but I'm not totally certain that's what it is (and
N. palustris
looks very similar). Seeing a photo of the head cone from above, or especially from below would help a lot.
There are actually more species in the area, Illinois is rich in Coneheads, but the others I could rule out.
