Caterpillar ID

[telwebb]

Can someone ID this for me - I've looked myself but there are many that look similar and I haven't the necessary experience.

Thanks

When was the picture taken?

Hi - two weeks ago on the SW coast path(ish).

I'm going to have a punt at Fox Moth.

My first guess without looking it up was Drinker Moth, which is very similar to Fox Moth as it happens. I'm going with Fox moth too after consulting my book.
