Can anyone tell me what species this is?

Here's a wild-caught mantis from southern California. It used to be completely green before it molted into an adult. Does anyone know what species this is?

I'm pretty sure that's a Carolina Mantid. It's the same kind I have.

Probably Stagmomantis limbata due to the location.

It's a Stagmomantis limbata(Bordered Mantis), not Carolina. I'm 100% sure. Limbatas are very common in Southern Cal. A few of my limbatas are that brown color and look exactly the same as the pic. Limbatas are usually green but can come in brown.

Like what was stated, it's a limbata (underwings yellow).
