Can someone ID this caterpillar. Found this guy crawling on the ground. Lots of Willows at lake's edge, but also herbaceous plants and woody shrubs, so can't say what it was feeding on.

Moved from Walnut Caterpillar Moth. Changed our mind. Fits the description of D. perfusa in the new fascicle well. We'll move it there.
