from what I can see of the end of the abdomen
Corey is probably correct. The parts that make identification certain on these are the appendages at the tip of the abdomen (in the males), and they are partly hidden in this one. However, from what I can see, S. furcata seems a good candidate.

May have better
I have another 5 or 6 shots. I will check to see if any would be helpful regarding ID from the male appendages

katydid
This is a Scudderia katydid. The wing shape resembles Scudderia furcata, but I'd appreciate another opinion before moving to a species page.
