Tree cricket of some kind.
The experts will be able to tell you more. In the meantime, you might try looking around here.

Yes, this is a tree cricket.
Getting it to species would only be a guess -- seeing the anterior black markings on the base of the antennae would have been helpful. It is definitely one of the 'nigricornis' group species -- probably O. quadripunctatus, but could also be O. forbesi. Note the yellowish head and dark distal limbs and antennae.

This male (paddle-shaped tegmina) has darkened stains -- a sign of old age.
