Least skipper
Not a caterpillar expert but this one matches description in "Wagner -Caterpillars of Eastern North America". White part of collar is twice as wide as black part and four pairs of white wax glands along subventer as well as a diagnostic face pattern when viewed after cropping and enlarging.
