Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Julio Balona
Comment:   Judging by wing shape and free tail that can just be made out, a molossid. In that region can only be Egyptian free-tailed bat. (Small possibility of being Sauromys petrophilus but there are no records of this species from that region so far)
