Eupareophora parca

According to David R. Smith, 1969:
"Subspiracular lobe with two bifurcate spines;...
on Fraxinus and Carya...
In late instar, head, spiracles, and spines on annulets entirely black; spines of spiracular and surpedal lobes black only at tips. Light-black dorsolateral longitudinal line present on each side of body..."

The photos are not sharp enough, but we can see the "Subspiracular lobe with two bifurcate spines" in some places.

Periclista marginicollis is another species of Carya, but it has light spines and "Subspiracular lobe with anterior spine bifurcate, posterior spine simple;" like all Periclista spp.

Moved

Yes, reminds us a little of images
in the guide under Genus Periclista, but that's only a visual similarity. We don't know enough to give you a firm ID. Sorry :(
