Quite possible that this could be T. aridifolia. There are probably a couple of other Tenodera species in your area but I don't know how they compare in size and looks.
Tenodera aridifolia?

When i found this praying mantis, it is with another brown prying mantis (the male for sure). But, it flying away before i can take a picture. The other one is my old spotting...
I looked at your other spotting. These are two different species of Mantid for sure. This looks like a male though I can't see the abdomen to count the segments, it is very slender in the abdomen.
I can't give you a species on this beautiful Mantis but it does look like on from Genus Tenodera.
