7792 - Elsa sphinx - Sagenosoma elsa
I hope you'll have the opportunity to get more photos of this species and without objects in the photo. This is a moth with fairly limited range in AZ and NM. The one specimen shown in Ferguson's MONA Fascicle on the Sphingidae came from the Chini Valley near Prescott.

Chino Valley
Chino Valley, thats North of Prescott. I thought that this one was quit an attractive specimen.
have a few more images, but few without other objects in the photo. I'll try for more uncluttered shots if the opportunity presents itself. Thanks for the ID.
