That absolutely looks right to me. This pretty much looks like what I saw: http://eol.org/pages/896388/overview

Sphingidae/Hawk Moths, Xylophanes tersa. Unfortunately the most important dorsal shot of the whole moth is missing. Nevertheless I think it is Xylophanes tersa, also found in Uruguay (the link is from Florida).
