Evening /an/, I'm wondering if you can help me settle an argument.

I had, a few minutes ago a wonderful specimen of a moth captive in a glass, I have since released it. I've been arguing for several minutes now with my Father as to it's species.

I say that it's a Red Underwing.
He says that it's a Hummingbird Hawkmoth.

What's /an/'s opinion?

No takers?

I'll post the Wikipedia pics for both moths in a second so you can help settle this better.

Man that's kind of difficult because the coloration is closer to but not exact with the underwing, but the shape is all wrong for it to be the hummingbird hawkmoth.

yay, thanks for the response! <3

but yeah, that's pretty much where the argument came from. I was really hoping you animal experts could bring closure.

I'd honestly think it's the underwing and that the color varies between moths.

Its clearly a Geometrid and not a Sphinigid, I dont know if its a red underwing, but its DEFINITELY not a hummingbird hawkmoth
