Ogcocephalidae
Gulf of México
I recognized this as a batfish and then looked up Ogcocephalidae. It made me feel good that they matched up. :-)
It is a bat fish, family Ogcocephalidae, yes. It is not possible to see the fish's head, but it could be Ogcocephalus vespertilio (which can be found in your area).
Now this is one very strange very weird fish....!
