Moth
I'm not an expert, but I think this is a Snowberry Clearwing moth - Hemaris diffinis:



There are a few other moths that look very similar, so please wait for confirmation from someone else.

Oh, and Welcome to BugGuide!

Hemaris genus Clearwing Moth
It's something similar to this Hemaris diffinis, if not the same one. You got a nice photo of one.
