Please ID this big, fat, fleshy worm. Not quite a tobacco or tomato hornworm ... anyone?

This is indeed a caterpillar of a white-lined sphinx moth (Hyles lineata; Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) - see http://tinyurl.com/7ddo9 for images. The caterpillars of this species can show considerable individual variation in color patter.
