Xylophanes acrus
Attracted to the moth sheet at Pico Bonito.
You've got some impressive hawk/sphinx moths around here. Xylophanes specialist?
Thanks gatorfellows, those pictures seem to add proof that this is the right species.
Here is a reference for several samples of Xylophanes acrus

Jakubko thanks for the ID. It looks like a good possibility, but I put a question mark after the species name to be safe.
Lovely spotting, Tom!! This ID needs to definitely be verified. I chose X. acrus based upon range, the paired dots along the body, and the arcs on the upper portion of the forewing.
