We verified the identity of your Great Ash Sphinx, Sphinx chersis, thanks to the Sphingidae of the Americas site.

Wild Cherry Sphinx

Correction:  August 14, 2019
While searching for an example of a Great Ash Sphinx in our archives to link with a new submission, we realized we had misidentified this Wild Cherry Sphinx, Sphinx drupiferarum, which we verified on Sphingidae of the Americas.
