Yes-
Something very close to this at least. These definitely aren't sawflies - key are the prolegs, which look more like leps (sawflies are 6 or more, or highly reduced). But you can also see a cleavage line on the head capsule that makes an inverted Y, which is unique to lepidoptera.

This is some sort of Sawfly Larva. It's difficult to give you any more information than that. There are so many different sawfly larvae, and they have different host plants. We usually just lump them in an 'unidentified sawfly larvae' or if we know the host plant we put it in a category based on that.
