I love Giant Silkmoths! This was a bit difficult but I think it's the Tulip-tree Silkmoth because of the shape of the wings and the range. It's male, you can tell from the antenna.

It looks almost the same as a Promethea Moth but the range is different and the lower wingpart is slightly different shaped. (If I'm wrong please someone correct me).
