Caterpillar in pine needle house - Argyrotaenia pinatubana

I found this little caterpillar inside a case made of pine needles. Attached is it's house. Any ideas what kind of larva this is?

Pine shoot moth caterpillar?
I seem to recall the bundled needles as distinctive for the pine shoot moth.

Thanks Chris
There aren't many details to go with on this one. Sawfly is a good possibility.
