I think they're a Small-eyed Sphinx, Paonias myops, but am open to being corrected.

What a beauty! What was its size? I can’t get a sense of scale from it 😅
- They were about 2½ inches / 6.35cm in length, but didn't unfurl their wings so I don't have a good sense of the span.
Oh, that is such a beautiful moth - and a really lovely photo too! <3
