Amata nigriceps (female, I think) - based on markings on abdomen and markings on hind- & forewings.

This is probably a Geometrinae larva but probably not Crypsiphona ocultaria which has a pink&yellow line from top to 'tail' down each side at the edge of a slightly 'quilted' flap. They also tend to be a more bluey green. (Except 1st instar which this is not.)
