  Rodent maybe?

  I'm not positive, but I believe you have a hind shot of a Dik Dik. Dik Diks are small to begin with, but the angle at which this picture was taken makes it look even lower to the ground. They have medium sized ears that stick out, and a very round, tail-less rump, much like the animal in this picture.

  Yes I agree - looks like a Dik Dik. They also have quite sharply pointed noses, which emphasises the rodent-like appearance at this angle in the dark.
