I found this on Friday, trapped in one of the hides - I can't work out what it is! Any ideas?

Dark Bush-cricket perhaps?

Thanks for that thought. I initially ruled out that species because (I think) Dark only ever has short wings.

Not a Dark Bush-cricket as this doesn't have a keel on the pronotum + I can't find any mention of a macropteous form of this species.

Assuming it's not some continental vagrant (possible from the location) I would say it's a more colourful than normal female Grey Bush-cricket.

Thanks for that! It does seem to have all the right features for Grey, aside from the colour.
