Looking at it again with another more time spent looking at them, I'm pretty certain this is M. devastator now.

Melanoplus devastator maybe
This is a best guess, because there is not enough information in the photo to be sure, but it looks like this species to me.

Thanks, David.
Shot this one early, before I had a better idea of what to do.
