On South and Middle Moat, this was feeding on rhodora blossoms.
It looks very similar to a bumble bee, and there were buble bees and a humming bird feeding on the same patches of rhodora. Mrs. forestgnome said "hummingbird moth", and a search at USGS turned up the snowberry clearwing as my best guess. However, rhodora is not on their list of food, and the southeastern White Mts. was not part of the their range.
