Just this morning we found the same moth, its still alive and it was outside our aptcomplex. He is currently at school with my son on his last day of 1st grade. Have been trying to figure out what it was. Thanks to this post with pic now i can investigate Sphinx Moth futher. Wow two in Salem so far!!!
Pretty Close

that does look pretty similar. my mom took it outside later and it seems to have a bigger wing span than those and much more than it looked like from the angle i took. it had a neat wing design like those pics. thanks for the help

I believe this is a sphinx moth. Without a clearer photo and better view of wing color patterns I am not sure which one. However please look at this photo and see if it is close to the one you found. Please let us know!
This site does not have it listed for Oregon, it is probably a similar moth, or perhaps no one has sent a photo from your state to bugguide?!
