We've seen this one before
It seems to have the wrong face for obliqua. There's an Arizona/New Mexico one called averna that has that face.

We have two from Florida, and Mike Quinn's from Texas

We're guessing you guys have another Texas/Florida Heterocampa species that hasn't been matched to a caterpillar yet. Bamona and MPG list 20 or 21 species in the genus.
