Not a problem :-) Funambulus palmarum is found further south and in Sri Lanka.
DanielePralong, Honestly this was a rookie mistake to make...I am so embarrassed, thanks for sorting me out.
Lovely spotting Sukanya! I believe you have the Northern palm squirrel (Funambulus pennantii), also called the five-striped palm squirrel.
