I'm going to go with M. latifrons
It seems a good fit, and this doesn't really look like anything else.

Moved from Angle-wing Katydids.

I think that he might be Microcentrum latifrons
but without having the specimen in hand, I'm not certain it isn't M. rhombifolium. The original description of M. latifrons is here.

I first listed it as M rhombifolium
but the habitus is different enough to make me post it. It wasn't collected.

There are enough things that look "off"
that it grabbed my attention and made me think it's not M. rhombifolium, but I've never seen M. latifrons. The shape of the head and the apparently "fuzzy" legs are among the things that I noticed.
