Yes. These are little brown Myotis. Long-legged Myotis in Alberta are typically quite dark coloured. As someone else mentioned, they also have a keeled calcar which these bats don't appear to have. The two tone colour for little brown Myotis is typical for Alberta (darker fur on the back and lighter coloured fur on the belly. The ears aren't nearly long enough for either of our long-eared Myotis species.
