Bat in flight

unsure, but on the basis of probability most likely to be pipistrelle, if it had a broken wing, I doubt whether it could fly at all
 
Well done for capturing one in flight. I can't tell if it's a pipistrelle.

I once rescued a pipistrelle from a water butt in our garden. It looked almost dead, but amazingly, drying it out and warming it up, it was soon scurrying around a box. It had a broken wing an was unable to fly, but it was the inner bone, not the outer part that appears damaged in your photo. It went off to the local bat rescue and I expect it will have made a full recovery now.

Could be the very tip is has a small break but it could also be a small tear in the wing itself.
As to what kind it is your guess is as good as mine.
