What sort of bat is that in your icon?

Jam bat

Jamaican fruit bat. Artibeus jamaicensis. We have over 200 hundred of them.

Thanks

I work for Lubee Bat Conservancy now, and we have three (also one Artibeus lituratus). I thought it might be an Artibeus jamaicensis since you had the icon titled "Jam bat", but I couldn't really see it's facial markings to tell for sure.

I had to touch up the face quite a bit to counter the blurring caused by shrinking the image to icon size. Even if you could see it clearly it is probably no longer a jam bat face. Rembrandt I am not. 8-)

It's still an awesome pic. I figured some of the detail might have been lost in shrinking it to icon size.
