This moth seems much darker than most of the photos I've seen of Fall Cankerworm Moth (Alsophila pometaria) online, but the underlying pattern seems right for that species. Plainsboro, NJ.
This common Moth is noted for the cannibalistic nature of its larva. It inhabits well wooded areas including Gardens and Parks.
The central black dots are diagnostic.
this poor thing has a broken wing but it doesn't seem to be hindering it, it was drawn to the light in my bedroom window

Eyed Hawk-moth Smerinthus ocellata
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Wingspan 70-80 mm.
Fairly well distributed throughout England and Wales, this species has a sombre, camouflaged appearance at rest, but if provoked, flashes the hindwings, which are decorated with intense blue and black 'eyes' on a pinkish background.
The adults fly from May to July, inhabiting woodland and suburban localities.
The green caterpillars resemble those of the Poplar Hawk-moth (Laothoe populi), but have a bluish-coloured spike at the rear. They feed on sallow (Salix), apple (Malus) and several other trees.
