Brown Sphinx Moth - Enyo lugubris

Brown Sphinx Moth - Enyo lugubris
Houston, Harris County, Texas, USA
September 19, 2018
Another Sphinx moth I came across in my travels (at least I think it's a Sphinx moth). It's much smaller compared to others, with a wingspan of less than 2 inches from wingtip to wingtip.

Looks like it...
Thanks Jim, yes it certainly looks like it. I see this species comes in a variety of colors too ranging from light to dark.
