What is this?

What is this?

Caught on trail cam last week, is my side-yard.

There are 2 squirrels that play on the stone fence, near the cam; one red; one grey.

This is in the Northeast Kingdom of very, very rural VT.

Could it be a piebald of some sort?; it's about the size of a grey squirrel; a love child?

Blowing up the pic, changed the color a bit; its coat is a very, very light, orange/cinnamon color.

Would love suggestions; even snarky ones. :)

I’m the youngest of 6 kids, the only boy and my sisters are all some shade of red. Fun times growing up I tell ya. My wife is strawberry blonde.

About 20 yrs. ago, commuting by bus from Md to DC, we observed several white squirrels in residential areas on a daily basis.

Later, in our Maryland suburb, we had dozens of black squirrels.

Lots of grey squirrels always nearby, but no red ones. FWIW.

Very over exposed picture making the squirrel look much lighter than it is.

I set one up like that in my yard, and it really works. Used 1/2 a slinky to do it.

It is definitely a False Squirrel. You can tell by the extra girth. They get that color shortly before they pop. Be careful ... they say the blood spatter when it pops can effect bystanders, causing a similar condition and similar result ... the good new is that the baby Chupacabra that results will be smallish. They grow fast.

Sami Squirrel. A denizen of a kingdom, yes, but one higher than yours.

It’s the body size of a good healthy grey, I’ll agree but the colorization is light cinnamon, fer sure. Hopefully I can get a better image in the future. Is Cinnamon the New Gray?...

Right-O

Off 2nd Ave in NYC, there’s a sliver of a park, and all the squirrels are black. No, not in Harlem. ;)
