Based on the teeth it's an Antechinus. It could be A. flavipes or A. stuartii, but hard to say given its state.

I agree with this one being Antechinus flavipes. The BCT bait stations are great for size reference.

Now, here is your Antechinus! I suggest its a yellow footed with that grey head and brown / rufous body but perhaps Martin can confirm.

Darn indeed. FYI, its the overall size of the animal (an antechinus would be half the size), the shape of the head and mouth (rodents have two large incisors and the mouth tends to be smaller and more at the front of the head), the size of the tail, and in this individual (male) its the shape of the testicles (in Antechinus the testicles are more round and further forward).
