Epomophorus wahlbergi
Brown to tawny colored with white hair patches at the base of the ears.
Riverine woodland.
Unfortunately it is very difficult to distinguish between Peter's and Wahlberg's epauletted fruit bats without examining specimens, but apparently it is more likely that this one is Wahlberg's.
