Comment:   Vespertilionidae: Cannot ID from photo. Looks like several species. Need measurements. Colour and distribution may suggest this bat is Cistugo seabrae or Eptesicus hottentotus

Comment:   Definitely not Eptesicus. Judging by location and tragus shape which is a bit difficult to make out, Cape serotine, but without clear photo or other info can't say for sure.
