Sorry very bad photo but couldn't get better, the body is translucent and the plant is fennel

Thanks for the id - I have just realised I should have looked at recent posts as there is a good picture already

Hi
this was found on the 20 aug on a fleece in my garden, I think it is some kind of hawk moth. Does anyone know what it is?
Many thanks
Mandy

Hopefully it is a butterfly, if not could someone still identify it?
