Snowy tree cricket

A beautiful male, singing from the vines in my back yard. When I find a singing male, it is often leaning up against a pair of leaves like this. Maybe this is to amplify or direct their calls. It should be Oecanthus fultoni, the true snowy tree cricket, based on antennal markings and song. The very similar O. rileyi is different in these details.
