This may help to start the ball rolling. Unable to tell from the photos, but what did its tail look like? This could be a Brazilian Free-tailed Bat (Tadarida brasiliensis) http://angels-view.blogspot.com/2009/02/... However, you might need to check on its range in Brazil.

Amazing spotting, Francierlem. I hope you can ID this little guy. The third photo shows it has quite a long snout, so that might help. How big do you think it was from wingtip to wingtip? Wonderful photos. And I would never have guessed that was a banana flower.

Thank you all!
