CLOSED: big friend with injured wing

Campobello, SC(Zone 7a)

Think it's a month as it was furry but really no clue. The wingspan was the width of two of the bricks on the window ledge. There is an "eye" design on the top set of wings and a second "eye" design on the bottom set. He hung out for a few hours then flew away. I have never seen anything this big...what is he?

here's a close up...unfortunately, I cut off his head and antenna...only thing I really hate about my camera...what you see in the viewfinder is not what you get on zoom.
