Apamea caterpillar?

Apamea caterpillar?
Nile Creek, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
March 30, 2017
Wondered about Apamea amputatrix which is very common here, but we also get several other Apamea species. Haven't been able to find many photos of their caterpillars.

Also, is there a page for unidentified Lepidoptera caterpillars? Found one for pupae and another for eggs & hatchlings, but nothing for larger instars unless I'm looking in the wrong place.
