It is hard to guess what a Himalayan whiskered bat weights. But we have the answer:
An adult Himalayan whiskered bat (Myotis siligorensis) on average weights 2 grams (0 lbs).
The Himalayan whiskered bat is from the family Vespertilionidae (genus: Myotis). When reaching adult age, they grow up to 5.1 meter (16′ 9″).
As a reference: An average human weights in at 62 kg (137 lbs) and reaches an average size of 1.65m (5′ 5″). Humans spend 280 days (40 weeks) in the womb of their mother and reach around 75 years of age.
