With no planigales in the area, its pointed snout requires it to be either an Antechinus or a Dunnart (Sminthopsus). Among Antechinus, it clearly is too pale for Dusky antechinus (mimetes) and is the wrong colour for Yellow-footed (flavipes) which leaves Agile (agilis) as the only possibility. Alternatively it is the first record in southern ACT of a Common Dunnart (Sminthopsus murina) but there is the suggestion of a pale eye ring below the eye in the third photo, so A. agilis.
