I’m looking for any help identifying these bats. They were in their daytime resting spot — a hole in what appeared to be a termite mound on a tree. I was shooting directly up at them while hiking in the rainforest of Loreto, Peru. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 98mm) ISO 250, f/5.6 at 1/125th of a second, Godox V860iii flash with Westcott soft box.
Such cute faces! Peru has so many bats. Over 30 different ones. I found this field guide link that might help. https://fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org/guides/guide/808 At the bottom of the page is a contact link. Here in New England we just have 2 species, the little brown bat and the large brown bat.

Thanks Rachel, that’s a great resource. I just might be able to figure out who these guys are.
