Hippotion celerio
Also known as Vine Hawk Moth or Grapevine Hawk Moth. This one has a wingspan of at least 9cm, which is the maximum quoted size I can find on the internet (72-90mm). Other sites quote 70-80mm and one said 28-35mm each wing!
Balcony, attracted from surrounding countryside by night light.
