Caterpillar species? - Euchaetes

Caterpillar species? - Euchaetes
Southwestern Research Station, Chiricahua Mountains, Cochise County, Arizona, USA
August 16, 2018
Size: 1 1/2 inch + or -
While walking through the Southwestern Research Station, I observed this caterpillar, roughly 1 1/2-2 inches so took a photo of it.

It's a Euchaetes
but we don't know how to get them to species :(
Maybe

 
Euchaetes ?
I agree that my image appears to fit Euchaetes and the image that you posted is similar to my image but not exact. The color combination seems to be right but the level of instar is just a guess. So the adult should be one of the Tussock Moths but which one is the question.
