Manduca vestalis
This large moth was found sunning itself in the research centre of Iwokrama in Guyana, There is only one prominent, thin but distinct, S-shaped, post median line on the left forewing. The other "pmlines" are broadly diffuse. Ground colour is light grey, often with a yellowish cast. There are two dark dashes below the cell and the upper half of the median area is darker than the lower half.
Found in suriname and Guyana.
Thankyou to Jacob for the time he spent to ID this moth for me.

Sorry it took me so long! These Manducas can be really difficult! It's reported from Guyana, so this appears to be the match.
