Creigiau caterpillar query

Found this on the decking this morning. Approx 25mm in length ... one of the 'yellow underwings' maybe ? Help with ID appreciated.

Our Bridgend garden last night

At the fifth attempt this year, we finally caught some moths! 13 of six species: Oak Beauty, Brindled Beauty, Common quaker, Clouded Drab, Hebrew Character and Early Grey. A really nice spring collection.
The Oak Beauty was only the second we've caught since 2004, the last being in 2012.
