fungus-killed moth

fungus-killed moth
Whately, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
July 16, 2017
Size: roughly 2-3 inches long
My size estimate is very rough; the moth was too high on the tree for me to reach for an accurate measurement. I spotted it from a good distance away, and it struck me as very large for a moth. I'll post a close-up of an antenna as well, in case that helps.

This is a Sphinx Moth. I'm not exactly sure which one yet.
