Squared-off tail, with toes projecting. Yellow webbing between toes evident when pattering. Trifle broader wings, carpal bend less evident. Extensive white rump, wrapping around sides of tail. Appeared more robust. Flight style more akin to House Martin, with Euro more similar to Pipistrelle Bat sp. Occasional glides. Hung in air and banked, before pattering.
