Assuming this was found in North America (looking at species in your other spottings, I believe it was), this is most likely a genus Ceratomia moth. For some reason the map isn't showing up on your spotting; could you perhaps try editing it?

I don't think you'll be able to identify this one to species level because most of the scales are worn off wings.
