Silver-tipped myotis
The silver-tipped myotis (''Myotis albescens'') is a species of mouse-eared bat found in a range of lowland habitats in the Americas.
It is part of the ''Myotis'' genus of vesper bats, which includes a large number of common species across the world. Genetic analysis suggests that it is probably most closely related to a group of Neotropical ''Myotis'' species that includes ''Myotis nigricans'', ''Myotis levis'', and ''Myotis oxyotus'', or alternatively to ''Myotis dominicensis'' alone.
==Description==
The silver-tipped myotis is a small bat, with a total length of , and a tail long. The fur is long and silky, with individual hairs being black or dark brown for most of their length, but white at the tips. This silver ticking gives the bat its common name and "frosted" appearance. Although fur with a similar pattern is found on the undersides of some related species, only in the silver-tipped myotis does it extend across the entire body, thus enabling it to be distinguished from some otherwise very similar bats.
The undersides and legs of the animal are paler than the rest of the body, and the bare skin of the wings varies from light brown to almost black, depending on the individual. The bat has a rounded head with narrow, pointed ears, and unusually large feet. The membranes of the wings attach to the toes at their hindmost part, while the membrane between the legs is partially supported by a long calcar that actually extends beyond its edge to end in a small rounded lump.〔
