Photo of CLOSED: Brown Leafy Moth - ID anyone?

CJ - No . . . silly me . . . I wasn't thinking about getting an ID on this lil rascal when I saw him/her. I just took it's pic because I thought it was rather neat looking and liked how it so closely resembles a leaf. I did get a couple more photos, but I'm not sure they'll help. I didn't get the underwing and the only body you can see is the back end of it. I'll add them just in case there is something that will help.

I did see claypa's note (thanks for that tip) earlier and did some searching online for sphinx moths, but was unable to find anything close and had to run to town before I finished checking all the sites I found.

I see one on the 2nd link that looks to be close, but I'm not sure it's a match. Here's the one I mean . . . see what ya'll think?

Thanks for the help.
