This is a member of the Sphinx or Hawkmoth Family
Order: Lepidoptera
Family: Sphingidae
It is either Manduca sexta or Something similar.
It appears to have 5 yellow patches on the abdomen. Use that as a guide when looking at the moths.
Again go to the Bruce Walsh Site - under the Sphingidae Family

You should look at all the Manduca first.
Good luck
