Any guesses at what this creepy looking thing is!?!?

Look at this weird looking "thing" we found outside a few days ago. We are pretty sure we know what it is....just trying to decide which of the two it is that we are going back and forth between. We took tons of pictures....and stood there for quite some time marveling at all its features. If you click on the photos and see them full resolution...note its claws, its antennas, how furry/hairy it is everywhere...even its wings, the size of its body and trunk area, the hair/fur on its legs, and the fact that its wings come off of the head area almost. Just look at all its details. We are pretty sure we know what it is exactly....but would anyone like to take a guess. This thing almost looks like a small bat...although it is not. It truly was scary looking. Looked like somthing that would jump up or fly off and kill you.
For those of you who were here, do not post a comment..lets see if anyone can guess exactly which one it is

Our best guess is a hawk moth of some sort! It's definitely not something I'd want to run across.

We are definitely thinking it is a hawk moth....but there are sooooo many types of hawk moths. We have it narroed down to two we think it could be but arent sure 100%. All I know is that this thing was nasty looking....and scary. lol

All I know is it looks like a type of moth called a sphinx...similar to one eyed sphinx, but not positive....haha..my dad is an exterminator...or else I wouldn't have a clue.
