A friend of mine found the body and I made it into a specimen.
This is a mouse with pure yellowish belly, gray hair base, yellow-brown hair tip and needle hair. Among the species groups of needle-haired mice, there are south China needle-haired mice, Mekong needle-haired mice and needle-haired mice near Yingjiang. The tail of this mouse is gray and white, but there is a pale white section on the ventral surface of the tail tip. This is similar to the description of (Handbook of the Mammals of the World – Volume 7 Rodents II. Barcelona: Lynx Edicions: 536-884):"Tail is.148: 5% of head-body length, flexible, smooth, and unicolored (with barely noticeable paler ventral stripe, Rest of tail dark brown) or partially bicolored (black adventurous one-third of tail, except for brown tip). (Tail length: 148: accounting for 5% of the head length, flexible, smooth, monochromatic (with almost inconspicuous light stripes on the abdomen and dark brown on the rest of the tail) or partially bicolored (nearly one third of the abdomen at the tail is black, except for. ) is consistent.
I compared a South China Needle-Haired Mouse in Fujian with the South China Needle-Haired Mouse and the Maigong Needle-Haired Mouse in the study of the needle-Haired Mouse Species published in 2021. The color difference between the two sides of the tail is obvious, which is obviously different from this specimen, so I think this is a needle-haired mouse(N. fulvescens)Figure 3 shows the tail of a South China needle-haired mouse (H.huang)for comparison.
Pretty rubbish phone pic, but hoping someone with local knowledge will assist in an ID
