Photo of A mantis to be identified

Yesterday I noticed this mantis in my garden, the first time I was seeing this. A few years ago I had seen a Flower Mantis. This is not green, but looked like a \'dry leaf\'. It was sitting at the tip of a hibiscus twig. I thought it was some dry leaf and wanted to \'remove\' it. When I touched, it flew! Then I followed. It also climbed on the camera, on my finger and then gave its valuable time for many poses.
Which is this?
