It's definitely a long eared bat, genus Nyctophilus. ID is a little tricky because the main diagnostic feature is nose ridge shape but this is a bit too blurry to see. However colour is typical of N.geoffroyi so ID reasonably confident for lesser long eared.

thanks Michael, I didn't want to disturb him by taking lots of photos. We have Lesser Long-eareds frequenting the house nearby so that ID seems right.
