Mottled Prominent
by: Moni

I believe your caterpillar is the mottled prominent. They turn pink as they get ready to pupate. And as they go into the later stages of being a caterpillar the tail gets shorter.
Here are photos of the adult and other larvae stages - http://bugguide.net/node/view/9528/bgimage?from=24

Theses are found in eastern North America...west to a line from TX to Manitoba.
The caterpillars feed on foliage of oaks as well as a few other deciduous trees like maple and beech. There is one generation in the north, two in the south.
