This is a new species for the guide.
BOLD has 4 sub-species bins for this species. They all look pretty much the same anyway. The Florida sub-species should be Manduca brontes cubensis.

Sphinx Moth
Most of the moths in the genus Ceratomia have a dark thorax, that contrasts with the light coloration at the base of the wings. I think that you can rule them out.
