Sitting on a 2x4 for size comparison. Approximately 3.5" long and 2" wide.

Very docile. My niece spotted this one and after the photos she picked it up and it rode around on her arm for over an hour while she walked.

Thank you Jakubko - - I was really impressed by this one. I have no idea how common they are, but it was definitely a first for me. Thanks for the ID!
