I think I see
black legs on the female (the larger one), meaning these are Hemaris diffinis, unlike your other image. A different view would also be nice; we have a ton of photos of this species, but very few like this.

Legs aren't well visible
but the darker more blackish colour would suggest closer to diffinis.
