Looks like an Oak Bush Cricket, possibly the Southern which came to these shores recently and has been in the news a lot lately.

Its a hexapod, so isnt either of those.
Looks to me like a juvenile oak bush cricket, the last few instars before the adult in those types of insects do not have wings. That looks like it does not have wings to me, might just be the photo.

Very good spot! Looks a good candidate due to its flightless nature as the internet says the females are flightless.
Hobby or professional insect spotter?
