White-marked tussocks are not found outside of North America, as far as I know, and they also lack the white tufts along the side. I think the cocoa tussock (Orgyia postica) might be a better fit.

Actually, not a sphinx moth as the previous two people suggested. This is a type of clearwing moth (Sesiidae), probably one from the Melittia genus. I'm not familiar with species outside the US, but doing some searching and Melittia sangaica sangaica looks pretty close to me. But, I'm not an expert, so I'm not 100% sure about the exact species.

A moth from the genus Ctenucha, but I don't know the exact species.

It looks like a moth in the Plagodis genus, but I haven't been able to find any species that is an exact match.
