If I had a wish to be fulfilled, I'd like for the status of the bat ponies to be established in canon. I have two ways I'd be happy for it to be:

1) It's some kind of magical illusion created by Night Guard armour to make her Pegasus guards seem more fearsome;

2) They are a distinct (if rarely seen) race of ponykind; one of Fluttershy had a grandparent who was one, meaning that she has the magical potential to slip into a batpony form if someone messes with her innate magic (Princess Twilight Sparkle, I'm looking at you).
