Wow I didn't even know I hadn't ID'd this old spotting. Thanks for finding it FD. You are more than likely correct. The important key feature (dark patches inside the 'forearms') is not visible on this one however which might be why I left it unnamed. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/101... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/192... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/880...
Maybe a brown phase female Pseudomantis albofimbriata (False Garden Mantid). They have shortened wings like your example.
