Cant get an ID on this cricket either, despite my guides, but I did notice someone spotted another one the same in almost the same spot.

I saw another one of these crickets on Bruce ridge this morning but couldn't get a photo.

I think this is Nanodectes harpax (Rentz) Small Shield-back based on photo and description in A Guide to Katydids of Australia by David Rentz, but there is a glitch that wont allow me to suggest a new species, no suggest or submit button.
