I am not familiar with American insects, but it is one of the clearwing moths. Possibly the Hummingbird Clearwing, although your specimen is a slghtly different colour from the one in this article:-

Classified in the Sphinx Moth family, these intriguing little hummingbird mimics hover about just like hummingbirds and also feed on nectar.
