Looks like....
To me it looks like this species Amorpha juglandis - Walnut Sphinx - Hodges#7827. But I am no expert. Here is the associated page:
http://bugguide.net/node/view/4144.
I have had several of these (if this is what I think it is), but mine are all much "brighter" with a darker reddish brown for the color. Not sure why that is though....

Walnut Sphinx
Thank you! I searched for Walnut Sphinx on this site and they were of various hues. This is a new moth for me! :)
