Great find MSJawilson! Do you have any more views of this Mantis (like of the back)? Or could you describe the color of the upper part of the body? There is a good chance that this is a Chinese Mantid, Tenodera aridifolia sinensis. Here is a link to compare images to yours:

This would be a great addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East misson:
