as portrayed in tiles on the walls of the NYC uptown subway stop (A-B-C)
at 81st and Central Park West. (ISO, no zoom, no flash).

I think I have seen photos of that species but I do not remember the name.
It's a bat! Yay me!
The bat is probably some kind of fruit bat. Most other bats have funky ears/noses/lips, but the bat here doesn't seem to have those things.
It's obviously a newyorkus subwayki imaginativus bat.
Yaybat!
The funky faces are needed for effective echolocation.
And its an egyptian fruit bat. I am fairly confident. Perhaps the cutest of all the bat species.
