grasshoper or katydid?

Jackson Heights 11372, Queens County, New York, USA
July 3, 2013
Size: about 1 centimeter

Could be a small grasshopper or Katydid ? This was the lone bug in the newly flowering vine. Seen and photographed 12.30pm EST 7 3 2013 in an urban garden.
As a beginner I appreciate any pointers in correct ID for this bug. A Google search led me to this site. Thank you.

My Guess- Katydid

The length of the antennae and long back legs say Katydid to me. It looks like a Nymph (Juvenile), which often look quite different from the adult forms.

One of the experts may be able to ID closer. Welcome to Bugguide!

Good call!

Super-long antennae are distinctive. FYI, nymphs don't yet have wings.

An inexpensive and very worthwhile book chock full of good info is Peterson First Guide to Insects of North America. You'll read it quickly, probably give it to someone after a few months, and profit greatly from the knowledge within. (I bought a used one years ago for a buck through Amazon.)
