Anyone recognize this caterpillar? (Solved)

This little guy was crawling across a pedestrian bridge. The front had what looked like a shield-shaped cover over it in the same color as the body, and it has a light blue spike on its rear.

Not an expert but iNaturalist auto recognition suggests Western Eyed Sphinx.

INaturalist has an app called Seek that tells you about plants, animals, and insects based on a picture. Highly recommend
