Great photos. The white spots around the collar are an interesting feature, but I do not recall seeing those particularly on Ectropis larvae, and there is no sign of the lateral black and white marks on A3 that I did observe on the early instars of Ectropis species larvae. Anyway, rearing it to the adult should resolve any ambiguities.
