Our neighbors: Chrysalis??

This thing caught my eye this morning; it was attached to the evil YOG fugly fence, and it wiggled, although there was no breeze.  I’m pleasantly surprised by the quality of the picture – although fully caffeinated, I didn’t shake when pressing the shutter.

Something was emerging from the top end, and if you look carefully you can see, not a butterfly or moth’s head, but a rounded caterpillar.  While I watched it didn’t succeed in shaking off the cocoon or leaf, or whatever it was, but, holding on to the bottom edge of the horizontal bar, it moved the whole apparatus a centimeter to the left.  If you know what this was, please let me know in the comments.
