I know for sure and you too, if you look at the stripes on the legs: No stripes = Saccopteryx sp., whitish stripes = Rhynchonycteris naso. http://fireflyforest.net/images/firefly/2007/July/Rhynchonycteris-naso.jpg

Hi Bayucca - I've got two pages of images up right now of your suggestion and what I thought it was, and honestly they look exactly the same to me! If you are certain then I will change it because I sure don't know!

It is either Saccopteryx bilineata or Saccopteryx leptura. Can't tell for sure which one. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/86266028 http://www.science.smith.edu/msi/pdf/i0076-3519-581-01-0001.pdf
