Dissosteira carolina
About an inch and a half long, half inch wide. All brown in color, it's wings are black with yellow in the back edges.
Grassland Alberta. Found him hoppin along my front lawn.
This is the first hopper I've seen that its eyes are not black. A friend mentioned it might be molting or shedding. I'm not sure either way.
Nice spot! These are variable in color but I am pretty sure of the ID. Here is oen I spotted earlier this summer: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/125...
