Thin caterpillar on Gaura mollis - Schinia gaurae

Thin caterpillar on Gaura mollis - Schinia gaurae
Junction City, 15 miles southeast, Geary, northern Flint Hills County, Kansas, USA
August 28, 2015
This tiny caterpillar was found on Gaura mollis as I was looking for the caterpillars of Schinia gaurae, the Clouded Crimson Moth. He has the same shape & general appearance of S. gaurae but not the same markings. Is he a caterpillar of a different species? Or could this be what the first instar of Schinia gaurae looks like?
