A species of small bats roosting together under the cave ceiling (small black dots in picture 3). Body smaller than an adult's palm.
Sleep inside Madai Caves during the day, Kunak, Sabah.
>>>Map accuracy: 2km diameter. I hope somebody can identify this at least at the family level by looking at the bat's ear in picture 1. Possibly a Rhinolophus or Hipposideros bat as suggested by AfriBats.

Thank you very much, AfriBats.
I will check that out.
A bit blurry but I would say either a horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus sp.) or a roundleaf bat (Hipposideros sp.)
