caterpillar on wild grape

caterpillar on wild grape
New Hope/Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA
September 22, 2018
Size: ~15 mm
Grub-like caterpillar found in webbing in folded wild grape leaf. Could it be Hyphantria cunea? There are some similarities such as dorsal pattern, black head, yellow ground color. But setae are much too short, black prolegs and plump body shape don't seem to fit. Pre-pupal perhaps?
