Moved from Butterflies and Moths. Maybe Protolampa as Tom suggests. Maybe Spaelotis. One would think with those black marked prolegs this would be easy :(

I found a similar larva (especially with those markings on top, though much fainter), and was looking at possibly Mythimna unipuncta or Metaxaglaea viatica. I.e. I found pictures of those two that looked somewhat similar. Best of luck!

Ah! You need the new Wagner Owlet book!

We haven't tried to tackle the cutworms yet, though. Sorry. Many similar species. But we may get brave soon :)

It looks a lot like Protolampra brunneicollis on page 550 and it's found from Alberta to Nova Scotia south to Georgia.

possible Owlet

Thanks. I was messing with Noctuids but didn't get anywhere. I noticed the book a few weeks ago but I wasn't sure I wanted it.
