A burrowing rodent of the genera Tamias or Eutamias (8)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for chipmunk that I've seen before include "Burrowing ground squirrel" , "North American rodent like the ground squirrel" , "US ground squirrel" , "North American native" , "American creature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
