I don't have a bat house up (yet), but do have a bat picture:

Can someone help/confirm the identification? I live in the Virginia mountains and was thinking it might be a small footed myotis.

I think I have a few small footed bats and I have read up on them. A small footed bat is very small, has a dark mask extending from its eyes similar to a racoon mask. They look very much like little brown bats but smaller. If you do a search on the net it is possible to find a photo. If you look at my post on bat house discussions and click on the photo to make it larger you can make out a little brown plus a smaller bat that I think is a small footed bat. The photo is not very good but you should be able to see the mask on the small bat and little brown. Also they have very small feet compared to other bats, but I have not been that close.
Good luck
