This is a tibia. Possibly bovid?

The colouring looks dingo-like, but I know mummification can alter this. The occipital and interparietal bones may be helpful to examine.

Due to the shape of the obturator foramen, curving ilia, and iliopubic eminences, my guess is beaver. Though I don't know if that would fit with your measurements.
