Clearwing Moth, Family Sesiidae
I believe. This Synanthedon tipuliformis sure looks similar. I'd guess that yours "might be" a Synanthedon of some kind.

Thank you
I had thought that the Currant Clearwing was a likely candidate but was puzzled by the the lack of yellow at the base of the thorax and the absence of a fourth yellow band seen on one of the specimen photos. It could be that both features are hidden by hairs or that these features depict gender differences.
And thanks again for the quick replies!
