The chestnut white-bellied rat (Niviventer fulvescens) is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is a small rodent with a distinct bright chestnut upper-coat and a white under-coat. The colour of the upper-coat is variable from very bright to a duller brown. The side of the body has a distinct margin where the upper and the under-coat meet.

The coat is overall orange, mixed with black and brown hairs. This dorsal colour shades to a creamy-white belly colour. [7] The manus and feet are white. [2] [8] [9] Adults are large enough that they can be confused with juvenile Neotoma fuscipes, a close relative in the subfamily Neotominae. The dental formula is 1003/1003. [10]

It has well-developed, blackish eye rings that extend toward the nose (similar to the buff-bellied , elegant and Tate's fat-tailed mouse opossums but unlike the ...
