Maybe.but it does not match any of the few photos we have of armyworms (Hadeninae) :

You will have to rear it in captivity to get the adult moth to identify the species.
What do you think it was feeding on?

Many caterpillars of Hadeninae seem to have striped heads. This has a plain dark head, which is more commonly seen in the Acronictinae (Cutworms).
