I do have other photos. Is there anything specific that you need to give a better ID?
This bat had landed in a shallow bowl and it couldn't actually take off flying from this position. It was taken outside.
The person who caught them has absolutely no taxonomic qualifications whatsoever so no ID from them.

Vespertilionidae (family)

No background. The bat was being evicted from a house. Normally we leave them alone and they make their own way out. Or not. Sometimes they get themselves into impossible positions where they can't take off so in that case we very carefully take them outside.
The general area is dry sclerophyll forest with some cleared grassland that is reverting via ti tree and wattles to a forested state.

Chalinolobus gouldii

Unfortunately not enough identifying features in the photo to give a specific ID.
What is the background to the photos? Did the person who caught them not provide an ID?
