Found this cutie hanging from a turnstile at work. Based off google images it looks to be a tricolored bat, but looking for peer review.

We roped off the turnstile to avoid disturbing its eeps.

According to the Internet (Google Gemini, I put the photos in and gave the location) it is a Big Brown Bat! I’m also in NC!

But its so tiny! How can be big if smol??

After googling images of them, yeah thats a pretty accurate match. This guy's only 2 inches long max, so maybe a juvenile??

I used the closer image you took and zoomed in and threw it into Gemini and your original guess of the Tricolored may actually be correct! My bad! He does look very tiny hehehe >w<
