Catepillar ID help

Downingtown, PA(Zone 6b)

Can someone help with a catepillar ID? I found this in my mulch in South East PA. The closest potential host plants are native honeysuckle and magnolia, but I have no idea what this cat was using.

Thanks,
Josh

Looks like you may have a A Tersa Sphinx, or Hummingbird Moth, Joh. Look:

Thanks Lily,
Some friends on a local Butterfly Listserv I belong to IDed it as a Snowberry Clearwing.

It uses Honeysuckle as a host plant.
