Hello,

it might be The Drinker (Euthrix potatoria) . That caterpillar is for
example feeding of  Common reed (as shown at the picture?).

Compare "Jim Porter , The Colour Identification Guide to Caterpillars of the
British Isles, Plate 7/K "

A better picture of that caterpillar is shown at my German Butterfly

Have a look at my homepage

with some pages in English too (for example concerninmg migration)
