Mournful Sphinx - Enyo lugubris

I dunno, maybe that is the other sex...Or maybe an incorrect ID. But yours is the spitting image of the one on Bugguide, and they know their stuff.

I am sure that is what it is but would like to find out about the difference in tail thing. Maybe it is if they are disturbed
