Can anyone identify this small grasshopper with red legs and wings? It's NOT from my garden, but from a mountain valley In Slovenia, so hope it's OK to post it here... 12.7.2010 Upper Soca valley, Julian Alps, Triglav National Park at c 1500m.

I think it may be a Chorthippus sp. but many are highly variable and I've no idea which one this might be. There were several around, they sang loudly and vigorously after performing short flights showing off the red wings. The females had less red on them.
