Not likely to be the coon: There are spots on the underside. I think urs dont have .. at least from the near-side forewing underside.

There are spots, but Fah Shin's website shots are a bit overdone on with the flash. In the field you can't see the spots so distinctly like that.

The key characteristic of this species are the elongated wings, as well as some small spots at the forewing apex. The Chocolate Demon does not have these spots.

Neo's shot is more likely a Chocolate Demon.
