Tussock Moth Caterpillar - Dasychira basiflava

Tussock Moth Caterpillar - Dasychira basiflava
Glen Burnie, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA
May 27, 2008
Size: ~23mm
Anyone know which Tussock Moth this may be? Was feeding on a Prunus sp. (3ft sapling) leaf before it started running down the tree, after I approached it.

We would suggest
Dasychira basiflava, Wagner pg 444
