caterpillar
I looked at the other caterpillars and checked the description. This caterpillar has patterns which seem to match. The information page also states that the larva can sometimes be pink.

 
After re-reading the descript
After re-reading the description of the larva for this species I think it was meant that the larva may show signs of pink, not that the entire larva was pink. Perhaps this one was nearing pupation?

 
Nice color form
I agree, looks like another Common Gray.
