Long skinny tail - any guesses what this is? Non-primate other?

    Hello! I have no idea what this could be and was wondering if anyone recognized what it is. All we can see is a long skinny tail and a bit of rump (bottom right hand corner). Maybe a rat (but it seems huge)?

    This looks like the same type of long-tailed rodent (so #rodent ) that we've seen appear fairly often.

    I'm still not sure what species it is, tough!

    (Just my guess.)

    I hope it is just perspective, but whatever it is seems huge. Not a rodent I would like to meet at night. 😃

    Thanks!
