Thanks bayucca! I only used your first link, and browsed from there until I was sure of the ID... then I see you did have it right with your second suggestion. Little doubt that this is the Heterocampa biundata! Thank-you!

Remembers me of a Heterocampinae, but I am not sure, seems to be a tricky one. Do you have other pictures with other views, for example from top?
