From what I can see it doesn't look like a tomato hornworm. I'm thinking it may be a noctuid moth caterpillar like a cutworm or armyworm. What plant did you find it on (tomato?) or was it curled up in the soil?

I would say it's in the Tribe Noctuini .. caterpillars change dramatically throughout their development.

It was on a tomato plant.

Some caterpillars will eat a range of plants.
