Neotropical nectar-feeding bat (Glossophaginae sp.?)

Atenas, Costa Rica. Any IDea would be appreciated. Bats are in the neotropical forest an important contributor to pollination, besides any kind of insects and hummingbirds. Blind attempt to get a bat in flight. Holding the flashlight in the left hand on the banana, camera in the right hand with flash, no tripod and: press the button...

 

Thanks Im_a_teapot and Aline Zimmerman for helping with ID
