This bat landed near me and I was able to take 2 pictures. This was on a path less than 1/2 mile from the field center. It was less than 2 hours after dark. I think it is genus Rhinolophus, but that’s as far as I can get. This was at Danum Valley in Sabah, Borneo.

Your bat may be a Wooly Horshoe Bat Rhinolophus luctus or a Lesser Wooly Horshoe Bat Rhinolophus sedulus. Considering the dark venter, the pointed lancet (smooth in luctus), the proheminent roof of the sella and the donw-curved tip of the sella, it’s probably Rh. sedulus.

I think you are right that it is Rh. sedulus. I’ll check out the video next time I have a fast internet connection.
