Hummingbird Moths, Sphinx Moths or Hawk Moths

unknown moth
This moth was on the side of my sister’s house about 30 miles north of Bangor , Maine . The pictures were taken on 7 July 2005 . I have tried and several are close but I’m not sure about a match.
Thank you,
John

Hi John,
This is a Blinded Sphinx, Paonias excaecatus.
