Bat experts - What kind of bat is this?

Question

I live in NE Ohio and this little fellow has been on my enclosed front porch for two nights now.I have opened the door and he eventually flies out. He isn't very big,but I am not sure if he is a little brown bat or a big brown bat. Can anyone tell me?

Another vote for little brown bat, Myotis lucifugus. The glossy fur is the key.
