Mantis species ID

[twkling]

Here's a real mantis this time. Found him in North Carolina and he was quite large. There's a lot of mantids in this area, I always run into at least a couple. In the first picture he's sitting at the top of the wall. I thought I'd get to see a mantis feeding in the wild since the grasshopper walked up the wall and stood next to the mantis but the grasshopper jumped away.

Can anyone ID the species?

Tenodera sinensis.

It is a male actually. It could also be Tenodera angustipennis if it has orange between the front legs in the "armpits." But it is most likely T. sinensis.
