Callionima falcifera
A very striking Sphinx moth with bright orange and brown. It had a silver bird-like marking on each upper wing that reflected even small amounts of light (last picture). Male, 3 cm long. Family: Sphingidae, Subfamily: Macroglossinae.
Came to the parking lights of a shopping mall, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
It had been hurt by a car on the tip of it's abdomen.
Thank you Agnes! That is definitely him! Your help is much appreciated....
