To me, the sntennae and legs do not look white enough for H. scrofa. Hard to tell from Gnathothlibus sp.

Gnathohothlibus (genus) spp. seems to have smooth coloured forewings with two areas of diffuse darker brown patches whereas Hippotion has forewing midrib marks with a line of dots which seem to be present here.
