Above is a fairly large bat with a horseshoe-bat-like noseleaf that was roosting with others of its species under the roof of an abandoned house.
Below is a dead bat hanging from a utility wire; my guess is that it is Tadarida brasiliensis

The upper bat is Carollia perspicillata.
the lower one is a freetailed bat, yes Tadarida brasiliensis is a good guess.
