Crocus geometer moth caterpillar (xanthotype)?

Reveler Conservation Area

This caterpillar was on a red osier dogwood shrub. It is doing its best to look like a twig. It is standing on its back legs, so the head is at the top.

It succeeded. From the thumbnail I never imagined this was a caterpillar.
