Neotropical nectar-feeding bat (Glossophaginae sp.?)

Neotropical nectar-feeding bat, Atenas, Costa Rica. "Best shot" I forgot to post... 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
