Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Darren Pietersen
Comment:   Could be T. cryptotis, T. krugerensis or T. tandyi. We need a clear photo of the underside of the hand to confirm T. krugerensis, whereas T. cryptotis and T. tandyi are morphologically indistinguishable, but can be distinguished on call.
