Very clear photos. Looks like a Noctuid looper cat -- 4 pair subterminal prolegs; Geometrid loopers have 2 pr. Might be a Catocala underwing moth.

It does have the look of some of the underwing cats. The key is to ID the host plant as best you can, and search for 'caterpillar on ...X.... ' in BG. Even if the X is 'pine tree'. Not sure if it is.
