ID for a caterpillar please

Hi Folks,

Today I saw this cat. in the south of France. It mesured around 16 mm and was climbing along some dead fennel, although I don't think that that is significant.
I am intrigued. Any ideas for its ID ?
Thanks,
Chris

Feathered footman, Spiris striata, looks a good match.
