Excellent photo. Is it in custody? I suspect it is a Bogong. I cannot remember what the Bogong caterpillar face looks like, and I can find no photos on the web showing that detail
Just before an instar changes, I think many caterpillars develop that shield on the prothorax.

Sorry Don, I did catch it but it was dead the following day. Don't know what happened to it.
