Macroglossum stellatarum? (Hummingbird Hawkmoth)

Not sure of the specie
Hope some moth experts can verify.
Thanks

Hi Richard,
The Macroglossum is not stelletarum - this species has the whole hindwing suffused with a dull orange-brown. The species in your photo is one from a group of species that are very difficult to separate in the field - M. heliophila, M. variegatum and M. pyrrhosticta.
The geometrid moth is not any easier. It looks close to several boarmiid (Ennominae) genera, somewhere near Myrioblepharia.
hope this helps a little,
cheers,
Roger.
Thanks Roger. Your feedback is truly appreciated.
Richard
