It's one of the Taphozous Tomb Bats, but not sure which species.

They are possibly Taphozous nudiventris (Naked-rumped Tomb bat) there are a couple of sub species but from a photo it would be impossible to tell which. The only 'global' bat group is Bat Conservation International http://www.batcon.org/.

Nice picture.
