very cool! looks like a stealthy fighter jet! Awesome Spotting!

This is not Xylophanes hydrata, see comments below...

Great find!

This is 2000 m over the sea level

I found this specie in "San Sebastian de la castellana"

Actually I can't remember

Cool!

No i didnt

@Bayucca: What about Xylophanes mirabilis? http://www.flickr.com/photos/grandma-shi....

This seems to be the only Xylophanes species I have seen that appears to have the deep green coloring, especially the markings on the bottom of the forewing.

I believe you are correct with X. aristor, though I do not understand how so many of these are incorrectly IDed.

@123sebastian.velez: Did you notice orange on the forewing underside?

I agree: Looking at the link, it should be Hydrata. But the ID is wrong. I know Leif, but this ID is not correct. So, if we have this ID we would also have Leif's ;-)... For Sphingidae, the "only" reliable resource is Bill Oehlke, which has IDed this Hydrata. He is the real master of Sphinx!

Take a look at this interesting discussion on a spot on flickr. I started with X. cosmius, changed in X. amadis and ended up with X. docilis which was confirmed by Bill Oehlke.

Since then I am quite careful with this Xylophanes sp. in South America. But I am still thinking this one would be X. aristor...

Notice as well how the double stripe meets near the head to form a white angle.

@Bayucca: This must be a variation. Observe this Xylophanes hydrata:

There is a clear double stripe in the back.

I apologize, but it is not Hydrata: Look at the body part: In Sebastian's there is a double stripe at the back, in Hydrata not.

This link more accurately describes the range, which extends from Brazil, westward to Bolivia and Peru.

@Bayucca: I think this is the Resplendent Sphinx Moth, Xylophanes hydrata:

This looks very similar to 123sebastian.velez's spotting.

Beautiful spotting, by the way!

Thank you.

Sorry, I probably can't get closer than the genus. There are too many green ones around in Colombia: Crotonis, Letiranti, Leolia, Rhodochlora etc.
My closest suggestion would be Xylophanes aristor:

Uau!!! Incredible!!!!
