What kind of grasshopper is this?

Based on photos on the internet, this appears to be a Saber Grasshopper. However, I am very curious about what kind of saber grasshopper. Most I can find either have multiple colors, this one is almost completely green, have a longer back body or are not found in the Netherlands (insect spotted in the Netherlands).
