Maybe a Giant Leopard Moth, I'm not sure though. Thoughts?

Hypercompe scribonia - Giant Leopard Moth - Hodges #8146
Moved from ID Request.

the similar Zeuzera pyrina has all black legs and the black spots are solid with no hollow white showing. Your moth has bolder than average spots but there are some hollow spots.

I cropped your photo to show more moth/less background.
Thanks
