Molossidae: due to flap of skin joining the ears, it is either Chaerephon pumilus or a Mops spp (highly doubtful). Based on the size of this bat in relation to the Woolworths tag, this bat is most likely C. pumilus. To stay on the safe side I'd just call it a Chaerephon spp. |

If it was Mops should be able to see sparse band of skin between the shoulders.
Most likely Charephon pumilus. |
