It looks like a prevost,s squirrel, but not a sub-species I know. Could it be a partial albino?

my guess would be a hybrid between a Variable Squirrel and a Prevost's Squirrel. It has elements of both species. If it isn't a hybrid then it is a very odd-looking Prevost's Squirrel.

There are several sub-species of Prevosts, but none really look like this one, apart from the red colouring, unless it is a particularly young animal perhaps ?

I think you certainly correct, must be a hybrid, if not a very unusual colour mutation of prevosts!
