Is there
an indication this is a tiger moth caterpillar?

Another possibility would be an Acronicta
Some of the eastern species look similar, but we haven't found a match yet. Wagner is going to publish a new book, just on the Noctuid caterpillars, so maybe we'll know more then. On the other hand, maybe someone will recognize it before then!
