Field Notes

Description:

This moth was found on the screen door entrance to a restaurant about 9:15 in the morning. I didn't have my camera with me so I put him in a paper bag and carried him home to take photos of him. I believe this is some kind of Hawk Moth but I haven't been able to determine which one. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Habitat:

Neighborhood with lots of gardens and trees around

Notes:

This moth was released after taking photos of him. This one appears unusual to me since he has so many colors on him.

Perhaps a Privet Hawk Moth of some kind?
Does anybody have any idea what this one might be? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
