Bad identification! Central Florida

I CANT CHANGE THE TITLE I MEAN BAT 😭

Little buddy chilling out on our umbrella, almost opened it with them on it! I don’t know much of bats. Definitely smaller, maybe around the size of my fist balled up, slightly smaller. Could comfortably hang out on an apple. Let me know if you need a better picture or any other information!

Am I going crazy or is this Electrike

99.9% sure this is not an actually sillybandz and that’s making it even harder to figure it out

What

I don’t even have words

Central Florida, lake county found deceased on drive way, I don’t think it’s missing any parts but not sure. I live near multiple lakes / canals

Thumb for scale except you have no idea how big or small my thumb is

Okay so this guy landed on my windshield for about 45 seconds and I was very confused! Size : about the length of a nickel tail to mouth, maybe less, and it looked like an actual miniature dragon fly / damsel fly! However if I saw correctly, the end of its tail was flat and looked like a rounded pry bar. I can’t remember if the eyes were actually touching, it was a weird angle. Don’t know about number of legs either. Each wing had two parts. Eyes had a yellow to brown ombré going on, as did the whole body. Possibly some kind of black mark(s) on the tail? Body is thinner than the drawing, I can’t seem to recall the exact outline. Anyways I just loved the look of this thing so much, I’m very curious now 👍

Sometimes find owl feathers, and thinking this is a great horned owl as we have a pair that visits often but I’m not 100% sure. Laughing at the fact I grabbed too large of a glove it looks so silly.

I know it may be a reach but it would be cool to figure out where exactly on the bird this feather would be, but just identification would be plenty!
