Cricket or Conehead ID? (Cambs. UK) (1 Viewer)

Hi All

I found this one on some ox-eyed daisies, by the side of a slip road.

It is not fully mature and I am struggling to identify it. By the antennae, I am guessing cricket or conehead of some sort.

Could someone please ID it?

Thanks, Gareth

Firstly coneheads are a type of bush-cricket, but this isn't one!

Nymph of Roesel's Bush-cricket. The pale U -shape on the edge of the pronotal flap is diagnostic within the UK.
 
femaleRoesel's Bush Cricket the pale U-shaped mark on the trailing edge of the pronotum is diagnostic in this species and is also present in the closel related Bog Bush Cricket
a conehead would be bright green and slender-looking with a brown stripe down the back
