I am fairly certain this is a notodontid, not a Cucullia
Moved from Butterflies and Moths.

Looks like you might have a good find. Completely new to me!

Khyl, I assume you are thinking of Oligocentria lignicolor. I can see why, but the head scales don't look familiar to me and the nose is pointed - not a look I have seen in that Genus. However I found this one on BG. .

Sue, both of these "Sphinx" look more like Cucullia to me. Notice the little black on the inside margin at the base of the wings. Most of the Cucullia that have that mark also have more wing pattern, but you might look in that area. Not your species but in your area. Any more photos of either of your "sphinx"?

Yes, of course, Cucullia!
You're so right. No wonder I couldn't make it fit into Sphingidae. Thanks for straightening me out.
