As Sawfly larvae are so under studied I'm very reluctant to identify beyond subfamily. If I was pressed on these id tentatively identify to genus Pergagrapta. Pseudoperga at this stage of development would usually show a set of 3 black patches in thoracic segment just behind the head. Whereas I think Pergagrapta lack that and have a dark dorsal midline, such as seen in this observation.
