Ismael, I asked bat expert JT Layne to take a look, & this is what he said -
"Great photo, but I am only confident that it is in the Glossophaga genus. I will say that I lean toward G. leachii, but it is too similar to G. soricina for me to distinguish between them."
Please can you put Glossophaga sp in the scientific name box.
It certainly looks like Leonardo's suggestion based upon the photos I have found online - see the 3rd image on this link http://mammalwatching.com/Neotropical/ne...
I guess it's a "Glossophaga leachii" 'cos the "face", the Flower and, the location.
But, actually I'm in doubt, 'cos I don't know if the color in the photo looks more clear for the Flash. Generally, "Glossophaga sp." are a little more dark.
I really better with the Brazillian ones...
Expected that I could help.
