Found this on the tomato plant this morning. Trying to determine if it's a Tomato Hornworm or a Tobacco Hornworm. I understand that both will feed on tomato plants. Pictures on the internet are mostly inconclusive.

Looks like tobacco.

"These species are biologically similar but easily distinguished from one another both as larvae and adults. Larval tobacco hornworms have 7 diagonal stripes on each side and a red posterior horn, while larval tomato hornworms have 8 chevrons on each side and a bluish black horn."
