If you can get a precise measurement of the forearm i might be able to get a species level ID

@MPennay they did a measurement of FAL and got 30 mm. Does that put us down the Southern Forest Bat path?

30 is in between vulturnus or regulus, could be either. Given it looks dessicated it's probably shrunk a little I'd say more likely regulus.
