Species ID Suggestions

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?
