The Grey Red-backed Vole (Myodes rufocanus) is a species of vole. An adult Grey Red-backed Vole weighs 20-50 grams, and has a body length of 110-142 millimeters, with a tail of 39-55 mm in length. This species ranges across northern Eurasia, including northern China, the northern Korean Peninsula, and the islands of Sakhalin and Hokkaidō. It is bigger and longer-legged than the Northern Red-backed vole, which covers a similar range.
