Moved
Moved from Common Tree Crickets. This view suggests O. rileyi - the black marking on the 1st segment seems more uniform. The other shot suggests a possible J shape as in O. niveus. However, O. niveus has orange extending to or under the pronotum. The orange on this tree cricket is strictly on the head. Given location, I'm putting this in O. rileyi. If proven as O. niveus or O. fultoni - it can be moved.

This might be the first tree cricket photo from a tall redwood - good info.
