Lesser Asian False-vampire

The lesser false vampire bat is about 10 cm long with a forearm of about 7 cm and a wingspan up to 30 cm. Its coat is grey-brown to blue-brown, and yellowish veins in the wing give an orange tinge against the light. The eyes are large and forward-pointing, which is unusual for bats and lets it find prey by sight (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is found in South and Southeast Asia from Sri Lanka and India east to Indonesia and the Philippines, and is spread across the southern and eastern Indian subcontinent, including the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It eats mostly grasshoppers and moths and sometimes small vertebrates such as other bats. It roosts in caves, rock crevices, foliage and hollow trees, usually in groups of 3–30 (Wikipedia, general species account).
