I realise there is not a lot to go on here but I'm hoping the face will suffice. This crashed into the dining hall at canopy tower tonight.

Hard to tell. If that's a nose spear sticking out on the left then it's likely a Phyllostomid of some sort (a huge South American family, although you might whittle it down on range). If, rather than a nose spear it's a tragus (I've looked and looked and can't quite be sure which it is), then who knows!

Thanks James - there is a nose spear in there just sticking out to the left. I have 6 phyllostomids on the CT checklist to work through - one of which can be ruled out due to being orange, so that's helped me get started.
