Manduca florestan
This was a really huge moth. Compare it to the normal sized moth next to it.
Jakubko the 2 species look a lot alike. I added another photo of what looks like the same species, but is a different individual. Maybe that will help?
Magnificent Manduca!
Also a perplexing one. I'm a bit tentative with this one, as there is a very similar species, that I think is a bit more faded, M. vestalis:

Here's another link for M. florestan:

I'm looking further to see if I overlooked any species.
