Fernando,
It is Stolidoptera tachasara
First time I have seen a picture of a live one.
Do you have the date?
I will post image, credited to you, to Mexico page and tachasara page.

Bill Oehlke Dear Bill, This picture is from my first trip to Mexico with Bernhard. Couldn't tell the exact date, but it was between July, 20th and July, 31th (2011). The exact place is Cerro del Vidrio (San Juan Lachao, Oaxaca). While not as common as other Sphingids in that area, several of these came to the light (I saw only males though). I also saw some of these during my last trip (May 14th to May 25th, 2012). |

Thanks, Fernando.
I am also interested in the other Sphingidae species that you encountered.
