The antennae looks for me too long for being a (true) grasshopper. There are "long-horned" or better "longer-horned" grasshoppers, but the antennae in these are much shorter (but longer than in short-horned grasshopper for example from the family Acrididae). "Long-horned grasshopper" are indeed the same as katydid (in US english) and buh crickets (versus the true crickets, Gryllidae) in UK english. I would use the name of katydid to avoid confusing with the real grasshoppers.
