I would guess
either Antillicharis species, or Orocharis nigrifrons, but I'm not sure.

It doesn't look like O. saltator (which shouldn't be there anyway) nor like O. luteolira, which is common in that area; the eyes are too large and close together. There are other Orocharis species that could be in the area too.

Moved for expert attention
Moved from ID Request.
Something in the hapithinae (bush crickets). Maybe Orocharis.

Thanks for the tip
After looking into it farther I believe this is a male Jumping Bush Cricket
(Orocharis saltator) corrections welcome

I dont think it's saltator
SINA map shows it as not being in Tampa http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/walker/buzz/686m.htm, however, that could have changed.
