Useless picture I know, just hoping that the bright colouration is diagnostic... Otomys typus is bright rufous? On dry open plateau, 2248 masl.

Long-haired Rousette (Stenonycteris lanosus)Observer
frankwillemsDescription
This tiny fruit bat (forearm 50 mm??) was some 5 m up in a tree, near afromontane forest edge, 1890 masl. Didn't manage to net it. My feeling is it might be an immature (knobbly joints) Rousettus. Considering habitat and elevation, and visible long hairs, this seems R. lanosus? Thoughts most appreciated.
