Excellent image - and a great find. Don't know the name, but the pink coloration reminds me of Rosy Maple Moth, but I don't believe that this moth is that species.

Lovely shot, I agree with Tom, I don't think the Rosy Maple Moth has a large eye like this.

Thanks for all the comments - I think it's an Evening Primrose Moth.

That would be a primrose moth, and found on evening primrose or in the flower itself that blooms at night when the moths feed.
