no expert here but from initial looks, could be a mouse-tailed bat...... Im sure Drew will be able to provide more expert insight on this......... Aj

Hi

certainly not a mouse tailed bat. This is either the trident leaf-nosed bat Asellia tridens or Persian leaf-nosed bat Triaenops persicus. Do nyou have a clearer photo of the snout to see the shape of the nose leaf? Also, where did you first find the bat? Intersting!

best wishes
Drew
