Different or same grasshoppers? - Melanoplus differentialis - male - female

Different or same grasshoppers? - Melanoplus differentialis - Male Female
Battery Park City, New York City, New York County, New York, USA
October 1, 2013
These two photos were taken on different days at Battery Park City in New York City, right by the Hudson River. I'm almost positive these are grasshoppers, but I'm uncertain as to what specific kind(s.) Are these the same type of grasshopper? Are they male, female and juvenile and that is why there are color differences? In the pic where there are two of them together are they male and female or adult and juvenile?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
