Hi Michael,
Thanks for sending in your photo a second time. We noticed it back in December, but were swamped. Then mail piles up and letters don’t get answered. We need a secretary. Sadly, we cannot identify your curious Orthopteran, but perhaps someone else will if we post it. ERic Eaton wrote in: ” The Egyptian grasshopper is likely in the Pyrgomorphidae, although most members of that family sport much brighter colors. So, I could be wrong about this specimen. The triangular head is pretty distinctive, though.”
