Little Cloud, actually a close relative, as the white U's on each side of the bottom of the forewing suggest Smerinthus jamaicensis.

Although this moth doesn't look quite like the One-eyed Sphinx in my field guide, doing a google image search brought up some images of moths similar to yours. Hope the ID suggestion helps. Cheers.
