Couldn't find a similar caterpillar in the guide. There are plenty of small bright green ones, but none other with the single light brown stripe. Looking for an assist.

looks like a cleft head
so we will suggest Hethemia pistasciaria - Pistachio Emerald - Hodges#7084 as another possibility. Images in the guide here

Pistachio Emerald
It does look more like the pistachio emerald to me. It's a lighter green and the light brown line follows along the same line.

Blackberry Looper?
This is a caterpillar of a Geometrid moth, and it looks quite a bit like the caterpillar of the Blackberry Looper (Chlorochlamys chloroleucaria).
