Hello, this photo was taken in the second week of April at the Arrocampo in early evening and I was wondering if it was possible to ID it?

This isn't my photo (my guide Luis Sitges took it) but as he was using an SLR vs my bridge camera, it's a lot clearer a photo so probably easier to ID from.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Looks like Myotis sp.? Any other photos would help.

All I managed on my camera were these two, but Luis may have had more if these don't (as I expect they won't) help.

Thanks again.

Yep, the photos don't add much.
In any case I'd suggest Daubenton's bat (Myotis daubentonii), a species which typically hunts over water. It would make sense (it's even called Water Bat in Portuguese).

Thanks for the help! Just out of interest, what would the potential confusion species be?
