Artibeus lituratus
There were over a dozen of these bats roosting under the thatch roof over a main walkway at the resort I stayed at. The roof peak was about 30' up and dark, so nobody else even knew they were there. The droppings on the walkway were a dead giveaway the bats were overhead.

Great, thanks Tom!
Ava, I just added this to the bat tracking mission. I have other bat pictures I'll be adding.
Please consider adding this spotting to the new Bat Tracker mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1830...
Thanks for the comments, and Luis for showing me the Mexico mission.
