Hi Luis, my friend at the Smithsonian is Dr. Don Wilson. He is a bat specialist. He confirmed that this bat is Leptonycterus nivalis, Family Phyllostomatidae.

El Murciélago trompudo mexicano (Choeronycteris mexicana) o el Murciélago hocicudo mayor (Leptonycteris nivalis). Can I send this one to my bat expert friend also?
