Looks like a grape vine
and with white blotches composed of three spots each, we would say Eumorpha achemon - Achemon Sphinx. Images in the guide here and Wagner, part of page 269. Nice find - beautiful image!

Thanks for your help and kind comments on the image. Yes, I took the photo on my grape vine in the back yard.
