What kind of caterpillar made this chrysalis?

This picture was taken today 3/24/2010. It was just a caterpillar yesterday, but today it is a chrysalis. The caterpillar was primarily gray and brown with tufts

Dear Rob,
This is the chrysalis of a Gulf Fritillary. The caterpillars feed on passionflower vine leaves, and the butterflies are a lovely orange color. Compare your image to this photo on BugGuide.
