I agree jjandin,this is a Gaudy Baron and ironically the caterpillars of Common and Gaudy are quite similar and have the same host plant , Mango http://winged-jewels.blogspot.com/2013/01/life-cycle-of-gaudy-baron-euthalia.html

The barons have similar looking caterpillars... those with long spikes/brushes. Happened to find a photo of Gaudy Baron's caterpillar here: http://www.indianaturewatch.net/displayimage.php?id=270620
