The dorsal fur is light fuliginous gray-olive, the underside is grayish, and the feet are white.
The 1984 revision lists open eucalypt woodland, jarrah woodland, and seasonal swampland among the environments where the species was recorded. These are regional records, not evidence of a single preferred habitat.
