Because of the wide white band on this Sphinx Moth & a Google search I think I've found this one but would like a second or third opinion on the id please.
http://www.silkmoths.bizland.com/txcentralsph.htm - abouth halfway down the page there are three
moths of the genus Aellopos. I'm thinking this one looks most like Aellopos clavipes.
Thanks for looking... again :-)

Seen in my yard (Sierra County, New Mexico) this evening.
