I think the 2 dorsal organs on the penultimate pair of segments indicate Lymantriinae, but it does not look like any of the 25 published photos of larvae species in that subfamily , so probably one of the other 50 or so species with no published larval photos.

@clarehoneydove : it would be really good if you could rear this one to an adult moth for an ID.
