Clearwing in Flight

I believe this to be the Clearwing Moth - Hemaris Thysbe, though there are some differences, to the wings (black not red) and legs (black not a light colour) though the rest looks about right for Hemaris Thysbe. Maybe a regional variation to those found in the USA (I used Bug guide as a reference) ? If anyone can confirm that would be great ! These are heavy crops - maybe a little too heavy perhaps !
