Cocoon - Callosamia promethea

Cocoon - Callosamia promethea
Minden, Haliburton, Ontario, Canada
February 8, 2009
I believe this is a promethea cocoon, but its shape is a little odd and it had no leaf covering. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Size?
If the size is right, I would agree that this is an anomalous leaf-free promethea cocoon.
