The markings on the head and thorax are unlike those usually seen on H. huebneri. Maybe it is an early instar. Can you rear it in captivity and see if the markings change as it matures?

I was going by the leaves of the case. The last one I raised was a fussy eater and took six weeks of feeding. If I see this one again and find a food source I will try it.
