I guess this is just a case of it being pretty similar to a known species or two.
Plus it lives high in trees, so not a common thing to encounter.
Nevertheless... cool stick, bro!

This is likely correct. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasmatodea

There are 3500 known species of stick insect/walking sticks. And they’ve been known to get very large, with body lengths over 35cm, even longer than that with legs outstretched. For those wondering, they are harmless, and some people keep certain species as pets.
