Riley's Clearwing Moth - Synanthedon rileyana

Riley's Clearwing Moth - Synanthedon rileyana
Sand Springs, Osage County, Oklahoma, USA
June 27, 2008
Size: 10mm (3/8")
At first I thought this was a wasp. Then I thought it was a fly of some sort. But, after getting it on the computer it obviously has scales on the wings which makes it a moth. Is it one of the Clearwings ?
Please help with ID.

Moth food plant
FYI- It moth attacks horse nettle (Solanium carolinense).

Sure does look like a clearwing moth -
maybe close to this one?
