Before this bat is listed as a certain species, it would need to be confirmed. Indiana bats are very similar to Little Brown bats, and requires seeing the calcar. Listed here are various species that occur in Kentucky, and physical characteristics that can be used to narrow down to possibly genus: http://www.batcon.org/index.php/all-abou...
Good find by the way.

The bat in this photo appears to have a broader nose than little browns. Juvenile big browns are able to fly at this time of year and will not have as long of fur as adults. Do you have any other images of this bat?

Since this bat is pictured rooting on the side of a structure, this is probably a Tri-colored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). Eastern Red Bats roost in tree foliage.

Probably not Myotis, more likely Big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus)

Please describe what characteristics you used to identify the species. Size? Any idea of how it was killed?

I agree that they look more like swifts/swallows

Good find, but looking at the broad nose I would say this is a Big Brown Bat, instead of a Little Brown Bat.

Thank you

Vampire bats are not found in South Carolina, the farthest they get into the United States from Central America is southern Texas. This bat is probably a Big Brown Bat

Nice photos!
