We analysed the IGR J16465–4507 Burst Alert Teelescope survey data collected during the first 54 months of the Swift mission .
The source is in a crowded field and it is revealed through an ad hoc imaging analysis at a significance level of \sim 14 standard deviations .
The 15–50 keV average flux is \sim 3 \times 10 ^ { -11 } erg cm ^ { -2 } s ^ { -1 } .
The timing analysis reveals an orbital period of 30.243 \pm 0.035 days .
The folded light curve shows the presence of a wide phase interval of minimum intensity , lasting \sim 20 \% of the orbital period .
This could be explained with a full eclipse of the compact object in an extremely eccentric orbit or with the passage of the compact source through a lower density wind at the orbit apastron .
The modest dynamical range observed during the BAT monitoring suggests that IGR J16465 - 4507 is a wind-fed system , continuously accreting from a rather homogeneous wind , and not a member of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient class .
