Notes:
This little hopper was very difficult to study or photograph. It was very aware of my presence and persistently moved to the opposite side of the branch - it moved into sight for a few seconds and then flew away. It was great to see him take flight.
Unfortunately, I could only take the one photo of this hopper.
My thanks to argybee for the ID
