Great photos, but I still can't really make out the Y shaped groove business on the muzzle. These do look to be a fair size, and the belly looks grey not whitish, so they are possibly gouldii (as per Menkhorst & Knight mammals field guide). Have to hope someone who knows their bats a bit better has a look at it.

Dear Jackie, I agree these look more like gouldii

OK, so do you want to confirm them as such then? The other option if you're not 100% confident is to just confirm them as Nyctophilus sp. I'm only a moderator for plants these days, so I can't do it. There's another record from the same place also needs looking at (check unidentified, mammals) to find it.

Would you please change the species name Nyctophilus to Nyctophilus sp. or Nyctophilus sp. (genus). Thanks, John
