[OohFeeshy]

no - but getting there
next clue: it's characterised by a short nose, clear fins and a bold horizontal stripe that does not extend into the tail

Is it a Epalzeorhynchos species?

 

[sylvia]

not at the moment

The common name is the 'Short-nosed Flying Fox' (which I only discovered recently).
