Carmenta bassiformis?
The anal fan doesn't look like Synanthedon exitiosa. It's going to be difficult to get an ID with just this angle.

Sesiidae?
Strongly resembles several members of the Sesiidae. Maybe Peachtree Borer, Synanthedon exitiosa, adult male?

Species is highly dimorphic, females look very different, at least from what I'm seeing on-line.
