Not sure which species, maybe A. ocellata? A view of the facial disc of the caterpillar would help.

Thank you. I've added a couple of photos - I thought they were in focus, but they weren't (hence not including them originally). I'm hoping this is the head, as requested?

The dorsal white spots on the thoracic segments are characteristic for Pterolocera.

Oops: so does A. ocellata but a bit smaller, and more characteristically A. ocellata has rows of pink spots. I didn't see these at first. Ian : right first time.
