Stagmomantis limbata
Very young mantises just hatched from eggs. They had brown colors.
They were on an overhanging strip of wood on the outside of a building.
They appeared to have hatched right before we found them.

No this is not an adult. There were several small mantises right by a set of eggs, so it appeared that they had just hatched. I do not know the ID so I am going with Kris Anderson's suggestion because it looks like he knows what he's talking about.
Do you have a adult male Limbata mantis?
Thanks for the ID! I will update the spotting.
