Door mouse or field mouse.
Cute little things, we have them nesting in our loft during the colder months, fortunately, they have left the wiring alone, preferring to chew up the foam loft insulation instead for bedding.
They absolutely love porridge oats, see them in our garden having a right good feast on the bird table.

Neither of those, I'd say.

Not the best photo, so I could just about belive it to be a house mouse, but I'd put money on it being a juvenile brown rat.

The long tail and body shape makes me think it's a young rat.

Mouse, going by the length of its tail compared to body, upright large ears and distinctly small head to body ratio.
It's a mouse.

Rat would be my guess.
The eyes are the giveaway.

If it's left handed then it's a rat. All rats are left handed.
