I've got it down to Sesiidae, but I can't find anything that looks like this particular one.

This is a viburnum borer most likely (Synanthedon fatifera).

hmmm
I'm no expert. To me is looks like one of the Synanthedon. By proximity of area maybe Willow Borer - Hodges#2572. This is the eastern sister to the Western Willow Borer which are the pics that look to me very close to yours.

Your suggestion got me looking in other places. I believe I've found it: Synanthedon albicornis. WRONG! I did find an image buried in Google that was an exact match and it was labelled cornis, but no other cornis images matched. And now I can't find the Google image. I didn't note the source. 1000 demerits. It does resemble the Willow Borer, but somewhere out there there's an exact match. Thanks for your input.
