Hummingbird Moths Hermaris thysbe?

Olcott, NY

Is there a photo ID reference to determine male and female for this species? These photos are from a recent hatch and were taken 27 July 2016 next to a woods where they were feeding on teasle plant flowers.

The location was Krull Park - Niagara County, NY in the Northwestern part of the state on the south shore of Lake Ontario not far from Niagara Falls, NY

Photos were taken with a Canon 7D Mark II DSLR with a Canon EF Mark II 100-400mm telephoto lens and 1.4X -II teleconverter.

Thank you for your considerations.

Regards,

Jonathan
