Moved
Moved from Common Tree Crickets. Angle of antennal markings can be difficult to assess in photos. This view of the pedicel and scape suggests a possible J shape as in O. niveus, but the other shot does not. 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.

 
Thanks for the ID help!....
Now that I know what to look for I can double check my photos for better shots, just in case!
