Small friend spotted in Southern California! Any idea on species?

Very nice small friend! It’s a white-lined sphinx, Hyles lineata. A fav sphinx of mine, even though they’re very common! They’re sometimes called hummingbird moths because they’re diurnal nectar feeders about the size of a hummingbird.
