I was going to say lemur, but the lack of a tooth comb suggests to me that the skull represents a species of the genus Pteropus, or flying foxes.
No postorbital bar also suggests it's not a lemur (and the molars/premolars are wrong for that), so I'm also going to go with fruit bat.
And you are both correct!
