Big Poplar?
I believe this is the Blinded Sphinx (aka Blind-eyed Sphinx),
Paonias excaecatus
. It's hard to tell for certain, but I know it is not a Big Poplar Sphinx. Big Poplar Sphinxes are quite large, and more gray overall on the forewings. Once you've seen one for yourself, you know the look :)
