For what it's worth, Spanish has a flap, written with a single r *r*, as
pero 'but' and another written with a double r *rr* perro 'dog'. When I was
breifly in Bolivia some years ago I kept hearing perro [pezo], where the
[z] seemed to be dental, strident (somewhat attenutated, as I recall),
voiced fricative. Indeed, all double r's were realized as fricatives. In
Mayan the r has gone to /t/ (Mamean languages, /y/ Kanjobalan and Cholan
and Yucatecan languages, and sh (alveopalatal fricative, as in English
[sh]oe) in Moche.
