WOW! Excellent photos...you can see the eyes!!!

Am thinking it looks like the Clavipes Sphinx Moth (aellopos clavipes) we have down here in the deep south Texas.. I see them every now and them frequenting my Duranta bush early in the morning. First thought it was a baby hummer too :o) drats!!! But it's still an interesting bugger to watch. They are fast!!! Have seen some that are about as big as a hummie and some smaller ones that are about 1 to 1.5 inches and verrrrrrrrry cute!!!

This is a photo one that frequented my yard.
