Looks like a Wood Mouse to me- I get them on some of my feeders + unfortunately occasionally in the house where they aren't quite so welcome! |

I'd say it was a wood mouse 
large eyes and ears tend to indicate wood mouse ( makes them look cuter than the house mouse)

I think a wood mouse and a field mouse are the same. The house mouse is similar but not the same. And I think a door mouse is one with a furry tail.
I don't know any latin names etc. |

Take a look at my Wood Mouse videoes. See if it looks the same as your little fella! First this one Then this one Then a third and final one
Hope this helps! Mine is definitely a WOODMOUSE... |

Difficult to tell from photo was your animal whitish below (when I first looked at photo it looked so, but checking again I'm not so sure). House Mice tend to be fairly uniform in colour. Wood Mice as well as having distictly browner upperparts/pale underside have larger ears + eyes + longer tail. |

I don't know if this one is clearer..
