It sounds like it might be a mouse or vole. The eyes of moles are not easily seen, and their front feet are easily identifiable, looking like sort of large, pink/tan digging claws (for tunneling); their ears are not conspicuous. Shrews have a pointed snout; usually their fur color is gray to black, and their ears, eyes, and tail are small. Voles are mouse-like, brown with gray undersides, with rounded ears, but shorter tail than a mouse; usually larger than an adult mouse (although there are several species of each type), but smaller eyes; they have a rounded snout. Depending on the species, wild mice can be small or large, and gray, black, or brown; they have prominent eyes, long tails, big ears, and can run very fast; their snout is pointed, but not as much as a shrew’s. If this animal is inside, it may more likely be a mouse versus a mole, shrew, or vole; it is especially rare to have a mole or vole inside the home. Hope this helps!
