I'll defer to someone who's more expert in European moths than I.

Thank you both empidonax and Jakubko for help!

Certainly genus Hemaris, I think this is H. tityus, as it matches most well in the reference link I provided. I'd like to hear empidonax's opinion and anyone else who could shine light on this. :-)

A moth in genus Hemaris, in any case. Hemaris fuciformis seems like a good match.
