    It is tough to say without seeing the back, but i think it is a Three-striped Palm Squirrel. Where was it clicked? That might help ID. :) Posted 10 years ago

The Indian palm squirrel

The Indian palm squirrel also known as three-striped palm squirrel, is a species of rodent in the Sciuridae family that can be easily domesticated and kept as a pet. It is found naturally in India and Sri Lanka. In the late 19th century, the Palm squirrel was accidentally introduced into Western Australia, where it has since become a minor pest that is actively targeted for eradication due to its lack of natural predators.
