The chestnut white-bellied rat is a small rodent with a distinct bright chestnut upper coat, variable from very bright to duller brown, and a white underside, with a sharp margin between the two. The tail is mostly brownish above and whitish to flesh-coloured below (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is found mostly in disturbed and undisturbed forest, across much of Southeast Asia and China and parts of South Asia. It is known to scatter-hoard seeds in the forests of the eastern Himalaya.
