Assuming you have 2x4 walls the space he's laying in is 3 5/8 wide. I don't know how big voles get in your area, but not nearly that big around here. It's a baby rat or a very large mouse.
According to this, Voles grow 4 - 8 inches.

BTW - spray the are with bleach and never NEVER touch a dead animal with your bare skin - there are many nasty diseases that they or their fleas can carry

AND the fleas can & will jump a few inches to find a new host (you)
I wore gloves and picked it up by the tail with a pair of needle nose plyers.
