Second this....partially. Doesn't look like genus Sphinx but more like Hyles.

Reminds me of the one @pic, though I don't think it's the same species.

I saw one of those the other day. It was strange because I never saw it in this area before.

I would say it's actually a Eumorpha vitis, though it could be something closely related. While Hyles is close, I'm pretty sure it's not that Genus

I've seen quite of these giant moths (that I keep swearing are hummingbirds) in my friends yard. But ONLY in his yard, never anywhere else in the city. Could he have something in his yard attracting them? Or I just don't pay attention anywhere else?

if you saw them during the day, certain daytime Sphingids are attractive to particular flowering plants/bushes
