Thanks for the help guys!
To my knowledge, Psilogramma is not found in North America but a similar genus, Manduca has a match at M. quinquemaculata.
Please check this species for North America.This is certainly Sphingidae.And certainly Psilogramma sp.We have P.menephron here in Thailand but the wing pattern on yours looks different.
Sorry Lenny, but that species is not even found in North America.
