Possible Hummingbird moth, Hemaris thysbe - Hemaris thysbe

Possible Hummingbird moth, Hemaris thysbe - Hemaris thysbe
Ottawa County, Michigan, USA
July 13, 2012
Size: about 1.5", 40mm
moth was photo'd collecting nectar on wild bergamot, mid day, most references describe H.thysbe being green/olive but this one is mostly brown, wings difficult to see due to rapid movement but other photos I took and live observation seem to show mostly clear with maybe dark veins
