I'd say it's a cricket.

I did originally search to find photos of cricked, but you can only find a handful of types. Since there are 55 that live in the US I was a bit worried. I did a search on cricket after this post (never dawned on me), and it is in fact a brown cricket. So, we let it go outside.
Thanks.
